Abstract

A review is presented on the progress made in the Cerenkov counting technique. History, theory, and applications have shown that this technique is simple, easy, and can be used for the determination of low levels of radionuclides with a low background liquid scintilation counter. It has been applied to the measurement of radioactive biological tracers, fission products (90sr,89Sr) and natural radionuclides (222Rn,226Ra,224Ra,210Pb,224Th,228Th,238U) in various types of samples. Advantages and disadvantages of this technique are summarized.
