液闪TDCR方法测量放射性90Sr活度

Activity Measurement of 90Sr using the Liquid Scintillation TDCR Method

  • 摘要: 90Sr是一种纯β衰变核素,但由于其衰变子体90Y半衰期仅为64 h,会对90Sr活度准确定值带来影响,鉴于其本身的性质,90Sr的分析方法比较复杂,本研究采用液闪三双两双符合计数法(TDCR)对90Sr放射性活度进行测量,在90Sr-90Y子母体平衡状态下,测量90Sr和90Y的总计数,TDCR总效率计算按照两种核素效率加和计算,TDCR效率的计算先采用BataShape程序计算90Sr和90Y能谱,利用编写的效率计算程序基于自由参数模型计算β粒子在闪烁液中的计数效率,得到90Sr/90Y的效率曲线,结合实验测量的TDCR值与效率曲线,实现90Sr活度的绝对测量,相对标准不确定度为0.36%,为环境监测和核安全领域提供了一种可靠的工具。

     

    Abstract: 90Sr is a pure β decay nuclide, but because its decay progeny 90Y half-life is only 64 hours, it will have an impact on the accurate determination of 90Sr activity, given its own nature, the analysis method of 90Sr is relatively complex, the liquid scintillation triple-to-double coincidence ratio method (TDCR) is used to measure the 90Sr radioactivity activity, in the state of equilibrium of the 90Sr-90Y daughter. The total counts of 90Sr and 90Y were measured, and the calculation of the total TDCR efficiency will be calculated according to the sum of the two nuclide efficiencies. The calculation of the TDCR efficiency was first performed by using the BataShape program to calculate the 90Sr and 90Y energy spectra, and the efficiency of counting β-particles in the scintillating liquid based on the free-parameter model by using the efficiency calculation program written and obtaining the efficiency curves of 90Sr/90Y, combined with the experimental results of the TDCR values and efficiency curves are combined to achieve the absolute measurement of 90Sr activity with a relative standard uncertainty of 0.36%, which provides a reliable tool for environmental monitoring and nuclear safety fields.
