The European Union (EU) 152Eu radionuclide was standardized using a beta-gamma-coincidence method. This international comparison achieved a combined uncertainty of 0.24%, crucial for accurate radioactivity measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear physics
  • Metrology
  • Radiochemistry

Background:

  • Accurate standardization of radionuclides is essential for various applications, including medical imaging and environmental monitoring.
  • International comparisons ensure consistency and traceability of radioactivity measurements worldwide.
  • The European Union (EU) 152Eu radionuclide is a key reference material.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize the European Union (EU) 152Eu radionuclide within the framework of a Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) international comparison.
  • To validate the measurement capabilities of the Radionuclide Metrology Laboratory of IFIN-HH.
  • To assess the purity of the 152Eu solution.

Main Methods:

  • A 4pi beta-gamma-coincidence system employing NaI(Tl) and 4piPC detectors was utilized.

  • The beta-efficiency extrapolation method by foil absorption was applied for standardization.
  • A "gamma-window" of 180-1500 keV and dead-times of 10 microseconds were employed to ensure linear extrapolation plots.

    • Main Results:

    • The European Union (EU) 152Eu radionuclide was successfully standardized with a combined uncertainty of 0.24%.
    • No significant impurities were detected, apart from 0.5% 154Eu.
    • The extrapolation procedure was identified as the main contributor to the overall uncertainty.

    Conclusions:

    • The standardization of 152Eu was achieved with high accuracy, meeting the requirements for an international comparison.
    • The results contribute to the global traceability of radioactivity measurements.
    • The applied methodology is robust for radionuclide standardization, even in the presence of minor impurities.
