The Series of Environmental Radioactivity Measuring Methods

The Series of Environmental Radioactivity Measuring Methods No.2: Radiostrontium Analysis, requires a long time for the analytical process from chemical separation to measurement and is not suitable for use in emergency situations.
Accordingly, this manual adopts a methacrylate resin immobilized with crown ether, which has been widely used as a rapid and simple method for separation and purification, thereby reducing the total analytical time from the start of analysis to measurement by approximately 24 hours.
In addition, the analytical procedures are formulated to be as consistent as possible with those described in the Series of Environmental Radioactivity Measuring Methods No.2, so that the number of additional instruments, apparatus, and reagents required is minimized.
