Abstract

Registration of the effects of interaction of the radiation emitted after radioactive decay enables determination of activity of a given material expressed in becquerels (Bq). Measurements in a frame of international comparisons of ¹⁴C activity using the triple-to-double coincidence ratio (TDCR) method and of ¹⁷⁷Lu activity using the 4p(LS)-g coincidence and anticoincidence method, where the liquid scintillation technique (LSC) was used, were described. Specificity of short-lived radionuclides activity determination was discussed.
