| Nosaukums | <p>This document describes the principles for the measurement of the activity of <sup>90</sup>Sr in equilibrium with <sup>90</sup>Y and <sup>89</sup>Sr, pure beta emitting radionuclides, in soil samples. Different chemical separation methods are presented to produce strontium and yttrium sources, the activity of which is determined using proportional counters (PC) or liquid scintillation counters (LSC). <sup>90</sup>Sr can be obtained from the test samples when the equilibrium between <sup>90</sup>Sr and <sup>90</sup>Y is reached or through direct <sup>90</sup>Y measurement.
