Abstract

This document describes a generic method to measure the activity of natural and anthropogenic alpha emitters, in natural and food samples or other kind of samples, by alpha spectrometry after specific preparation (according to type of sample matrices) and chemical separation of radionuclides of interest. This method can be used to measure very low levels activity concentrations, one or two orders of magnitude less than the usual natural levels of alpha emitting radionuclides.
