Method for Simultaneous 90Sr and 137Cs in-Vivo Measurements of Small Animals and Other Environmental Media Developed for the Conditions of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone

Description: To perform in vivo simultaneous measurements of the {sup 90}Sr and {sup 137}Cs content in the bodies of animals living in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (ChEZ), an appropriate method and equipment were developed and installed in a mobile gamma beta spectrometry laboratory. This technique was designed for animals of relatively small sizes (up to 50 g). The {sup 90}Sr content is measured by a beta spectrometer with a 0.1 mm thick scintillation plastic detector. The spectrum processing takes into ac… more
