Abstract
Multiple radionuclide mixtures which have similar scintillation pulse height distributions can be accurately radioassayed by the most probable value theory. This liquid scintillation technique is based on the construction of more observation equations than the number of nuclides to be analyzed. The technique has been applied to3H–14C–125I and3H–14C–51Cr mixture samples, and found to be very practicable with the aid of computerized data processing for mixture samples having a wide range (ca. 10 times) of activity ratios.
Abstract
From the practicable viewpoint for environmental radioactivity measurement and monitoring, the liquid scintillation radioassay has been applied to low-level pure-beta and 
-emitter mixtures by using the most probable value theory. In low activity measurement, it is required to select a suitable emulsion scintillator and to deal with the calculated data statistically. Detection limit for a solution sample has been roughly estimated to be 10–2 Bq ml–1.
Abstract
The most probable value theory has been applied to analytical radioassay for mixture samples of six pure-beta emitters by using a liquid scintillation spectrometer. Activities of each nuclide in the mixture sample can be determined by solving normal equations which are derived from twelve observation equations, the number of which is twice that of nuclides to be radioassayed. Requirement for the technique is to construct quenching correction curves of the respective nuclides. This technique has been tested to3H–63Ni–14C–45Ca–36Cl–32P mixture samples, and found to be very useful with the aid of computerized data processing.
