Abstract
A coprecipitation procedure for the preparation of alpha-spectrometric sources for radium, using BaSO4 as carrier, has been applied to the d etermination of alpha radium isotopes in water samples. The use of Ba- 133 as a suitable tracer far radium determination and possible losses of radon isotopes from the sources are studied and discussed.
