Abstract

A very simple and rapid method for determination of gross beta activity in waiter with GM counter for liquids is described. Efficiency of the liquid counter for 10 radionuclides with beta energies ranging from 0.44 MeV (Ce-141) to 2.98 MeV (Pr-144) and for a mixture of the most dangerous fission products has been assessed. Owing to its rapidity and simplicity the method is very suitable for measuring gross beta activity in drinking and other waters in emergency situations.
