Liquid Scintillation Counting in the London Underground
Keyword(s):
At the 12th International Radiocarbon Conference held in Trondheim, the potential of the London Underground as a site for liquid scintillation counting was considered (Bowman, 1986). This was discussed in light of a survey of three possible locations using a portable gamma-ray spectrometer. Two liquid scintillation counters, a Packard 3255 and an LKB “Kangaroo”, have now been successfully installed in a vault which is some 30m below ground. The reduction in background count rates achieved is discussed, together with other improvements made to the counting system.
