Abstract
A simple liquid scintillation counting method using DGA/TRU resins for removal of matrix/radiometric interferences, Äerenkov counting for measuring 90Y, and EDXRF for quantifying Y recovery was validated for analyzing 90Sr in various foods. Analysis of samples containing energetic β emitters required using TRU resin to avoid false detection and positive bias. Additional 34% increase in Y recovery was obtained by stirring the resin while eluting Y with H2C2O4. The method showed acceptable accuracy (±10%), precision (10%), and detectability (~0.09 Bq kgâ1).
