초록
Rapid screening for internal contamination by alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides is essential insituations involving radiation workers or radiation accidents. This study focused on the use of urine samples and liquidscintillation counting to quickly and accurately assess contamination. Calibration of the alpha and beta detection areasensured precise measurement results. The major radionuclides recommended for surveillance during accidents werealso considered. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the method by examining various parameters, including thelimit of detection, linearity, sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy, ruggedness, and blind test sample analysis. The liquidscintillation counting method is an effective tool for screening urinary samples to detect alpha- and beta-emittingradionuclides, particularly during radiation emergencies, despite some limitations in precision.
