摘要
For precise measurement of low-level beta-radioactivity by liquid-scintillation spectrometry, it is essential to prepare a so-called background sample, the count rate of which corresponds approximately to the background count rate of the source to be measured. A method for preparing such background samples is described in this paper. It has been successfully applied to the determination of C-14 radioactivity as low as 30 mBq with a relative uncertainty of less than 5%. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
