Abstract

A method for the measurement of gross alpha and gross beta activities for low alpha-to-beta activity ratios is presented. Measurement of the gross alpha activity would still be important from an internal dose perspective when the gross beta activity is dominating, since a significant dose contribution may come from alpha emitting radionuclides. The method is intended for screening of drinking water after a radiological emergency when many samples would be valuable to be measured during a short period of time.
