Water quality - Strontium 90 and strontium 89 - Test methods using liquid scintillation counting or proportional counting

<p>ISO 13160:2012 specifies the test methods and their associated principles for the measurement of the activity of <sup>90</sup>Sr in equilibrium with <sup>90</sup>Y, and <sup>89</sup>Sr, pure beta-emitting radionuclides, in water samples. Different chemical separation methods are presented to produce strontium and yttrium sources, the activity of which is determined using a proportional counter (PC) or liquid scintillation counter (LSC). The selection of the test method depends on the origin of the contamination, the characteristics of the water to be analysed, the required accuracy of test results and the available resources of the laboratories.</p> <p>These test methods are used for water monitoring following, past or present, accidental or routine, liquid or gaseous discharges. It also covers the monitoring of contamination caused by global fallout.</p> <p>When fallout occurs immediately following a nuclear accident, the contribution of <sup>89</sup>Sr to the total amount of strontium activity is not negligible. ISO 13160:2012 provides the test methods to determine the activity concentration of <sup>90</sup>Sr in presence of <sup>89</sup>Sr.</p>

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
