| dc.description.abstract | A reference system that would allow national laboratories to compare their activity measurements of non-gamma-emitting radionuclides at any time is currently being developed. The system requires a non-commercial reference-liquid scintillation cocktail, the development of which is described here. After preliminary testing of a number of cocktails, three cocktails were tested for suitability with seven different radionuclides. The best results were obtained with a cocktail consisting of p-xylene, 2-phenoxyethanol, PPO and bis-MSB, giving reasonable counting efficiencies and stable sources for 3H, 63Ni, 14C, 55Fe and 36Cl, but not for 89Sr and 90Sr/90Y. Further development will be undertaken to provide, in addition, stable strontium sources. A further aim is to optimise the XP ratio in terms of detection efficiency and source stability | en |
