Abstract

The purpose of this study was to optimize carbonate suspension counting method for the measurements of high level activity of $^{14}C$ in a reactor stack effluent gases. Although it is less sensitive method, the carbonate suspension counting method has been found to be a suitable technique for the $^{14}C$ monitoring of samples with small amount but with high specific activity and to be relatively simple and fast.

원자력 발전소내 연도를 통하여 병출되는 고준위 $^{14}C$ 측정을 위한 탄산염 부유측정법에 대하여 연구 하였다. 탄산염 부유측정법이 비록 감도는 낮지만 시료량이 적은 반면 높은 비 방사능을 갖는 시료의 측정에 적절하며, 상대적으로 단순하고 신속한 방법임을 알 수 있었다.
