A simple method for calibration of Lucas scintillation cell counting system for measurement of 226Ra and 222Rn
Known quantity of radium from high grade ore solution was chemically separated and carefully kept inside the cavity of a Lucas Cell (LC). The 222Rn gradually builds up and attain secular equilibrium with its parent 226Ra. This gives a steady count after a suitable buildup period (>25 days). This...
