Inkjet droplets of radioactive material enable quick, precise testing at NIST
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a technique called cryogenic decay energy spectrometry capable of detecting single radioactive decay events from tiny material samples and simultaneously identifying the atoms involved. In time, the technology could replace characterization tasks that have taken months and could support rapid, accurate radiopharmaceutical development and used nuclear fuel recycling, according to an article published on July 8 by NIST.

A laboratory handling tritium requires a large variety of procedures for the assay of tritium concentrations over a very wide range (10−9 Ci/m3a to 106 Ci/m3). The measurement of tritium can be conveniently categorized into four levels from very low concentrations to very high concentrations (up to 100% T2). This paper will describe in detail the monitoring and analytical procedures used, as well as operational experience with the various equipment, in the CRNL Tritium Laboratory.a1 Ci = 37 GBq
