This International Standard does not purport to address all of th

25、e safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this International St

26、andard be carried out by suitably trained staff. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity in non-saline waters for alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides. The method is applicable to raw and potable waters containing a small

27、quantity of dissolved matter. It can, after adaptation, apply to other kind of waters. The range of application depends upon the amount of dissolved material in the water and on the performance characteristics of the measurement equipment (background count rate and counting efficiency). 2 Normative

36、adioactive contents, but relative determinations referred to specific alpha and beta emitters that constitute the standard calibration sources. In order to obtain a thin deposit directly on a planchet, the sample can be progressively evaporated to dryness at a temperature below about 85 C. Alternati

37、vely, for alpha determination, it can be concentrated via a coprecipitation, the filtered coprecipitate being measured on to the planchet (Reference 3). The gross alpha and gross beta activity of the deposit is measured by counting in an alpha- and beta-particle detector or counting system previousl

38、y calibrated against alpha- and beta-emitting standards. When suspended matter is present in a significant quantity, a filtration step is required and the gross alpha and gross beta activity can also be determined for the material retained on the filter. IMPORTANT Due to the ingrowth of radon daught

39、ers over time, the results are dependent on the time elapsed between sample preparation and measurement. For comparison purposes, it is recommended that the measurement be performed at the same time after the preparation of the sample. 5 Chemical reagents and equipment 5.1 Reagents All reagents shal

40、l be of recognised analytical grade and shall not contain any detectable alpha and beta activity, except for radioactive standards solutions. 5.1.1 Standard solutions 5.1.1.1 Alpha standard The choice of alpha standard depends on the knowledge of the type of radioactive contaminant likely to be pres

41、ent in the waters being tested. In general, this leads to a choice between naturally occurring and man-made alpha emitters. Commonly used standards of artificial alpha-emitting radionuclides employed for this purpose are 241Am solutions and 239Pu solutions. When 239Pu is used, the presence of 241Pu

42、as an impurity shall be taken into account as it leads to growth of 241Am in prepared standard solutions of sources. When 241Am is used, take into account the potential interferences of its gamma emission. NOTE An uranium compound of certified natural or known isotopic composition has one arguable a

43、dvantage, in that its specific activity can be calculated from established physical constants and isotopic abundance date which are independent of the calibration procedures of a particular organisation. However, an uranium compound of known isotopic composition is difficult to obtain. Furthermore,

44、since the energies of the alpha emissions from uranium isotopes are less than those from the artificial transuranic nuclides, the use of a uranium standard tends to give a high result for transuranic elements. 5.1.1.2 Beta standard The choice of beta standard depends on knowledge of the type of radi

45、oactive contaminant likely to be present in the waters being tested. As a natural material, 40K as potassium chloride, dried to constant mass at 105 C, can be used. Standard solutions of artificial beta-emitting radionuclides 90Sr90Y are commonly used. 5.1.2 Wetting or surfactant agents 5.1.2.1 Viny
