Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics and Metrology
  • Radiochemistry and Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Accurate standardization of radioactive isotopes is crucial for various applications, including nuclear medicine, environmental monitoring, and fundamental research.
  • Iodine-129 (129I) is a long-lived radionuclide with significant environmental relevance, necessitating precise activity concentration measurements.
  • Existing standardization methods like triple to double coincidence ratio (TDCR) and CIEMAT/NIST efficiency tracing have limitations in precision and applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize radioactive sources of iodine-129 (129I) using a novel movable 4πβ(LS)-X(NaI(Tl)) coincidence system.
  • To investigate the influence of sample volume and chemical composition on beta (β) efficiency.
  • To determine the activity concentration of 129I sources with high precision and assess the system's performance against established methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a movable 4πβ(LS)-X(NaI(Tl)) coincidence system with three movable photomultiplier tubes (PM tubes) for beta detection and a NaI(Tl) X-ray detector.
  • Prepared 14 liquid scintillation samples of 129I dissolved in 0.1M NaOH and 0.1M HNO3 solutions, with varying masses (4.4-145 mg).
  • Employed the efficiency-extrapolation method and derived β-efficiency points by adjusting the detector positions in fine steps.

Main Results:

  • Achieved β-efficiencies above 90% for sample masses below 56 mg, decreasing to approximately 70% at 145 mg, independent of activity or solution type.
  • Determined the activity concentration of 129I sources (0.28-4.5 kBq) with a highest observed β-efficiency of 95%.
  • Reported combined uncertainties of 0.25% and 0.26%, demonstrating superior precision compared to TDCR and CIEMAT/NIST methods.

Conclusions:

  • The movable 4πβ(LS)-X(NaI(Tl)) coincidence system provides a highly precise and reliable method for standardizing 129I radioactive sources.
  • The system's performance is robust across different sample volumes and chemical compositions, offering versatility in applications.
  • This advanced standardization technique surpasses the precision of previously reported methods, setting a new benchmark for 129I metrology.
