Abstract

A simple procedure for the determination of 226Ra in geological samples using α-spectrometry is presented. The method uses 225Ra as yield tracer, and microprecipitation of Ba(Ra)SO 4 for source preparation. Extensive studies were performed in order to determine the chemical yield of the proposed procedure with precision. The method was tested on a geological reference sample, and gave satisfactory results and high reproducibility.
