Abstract
The conditions to measure the grass alpha and gross beta radioactivity in water samples from the surrounding of the Nuclear Center (Institut o Nacional Investigaciones Nucleares, (ININ), and Collection, Treatmen t and Storage Center for Low Level Radioactive Waste (Maquixco) in the State of Mexico were established. The samples were collected from 198 7 to 1996. The gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity in the samples were determined by a gas-flow proportional counter. The results indic ated that the gross alpha and gross beta radioactive contamination in water samples were below the maximum contaminant level (MCL).
