This practice was developed for the purpose of summarizing the various generic radiometric techniques, equipment, and practices that are used for the measurement of radioactivity.
1.1 These practices cover a review of the accepted counting practices currently used in radiochemical analyses. The practices are divided into four sections:
| Section | |
| General Information | 6 to 11 |
| Alpha Counting | 12 to 22 |
| Beta Counting | 23 to 33 |
| Gamma Counting | 34 to 41 |
1.2 The general information sections contain information applicable to all types of radioactive measurements, while each of the other sections is specific for a particular type of radiation.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
