Full Description

This powerpoint presentation presents a study on the dependence of the gross-alphaparticle activity on naturally-occurring alpha emitters. Topics covered include: radioactive decay processes;secular equilibrium;radionuclide water chemistry;supported and unsupported activity; radiological composition ofsamples; effect of uranium disequilibrium onthe uranium methods; and, gross alpha-particle analysis. Includes tables, figures.
