Abstract
Liquid scintillation counting (LSC) is widely used at LNHB for primary standardization of radionuclides (TDCR method), for secondary calibration and also for source stability studies or radioactive purity measurements. A total of five LSC counters are used for these purposes: two locally developed 3-photodetector counters for the implementation of the TDCR method, two Wallac 1414 counters and one Wallac 1220 Quantulus counter. The quality of the LSC measurements relies on the correct operation of these counters and their traceability to the frequency and time units.
