Abstract
Eleven laboratories participated in an intercomparison of activity con centration measurements using liquid scintillation counting (LSC) for the standardization of Ni-63 and Fe-55 in the frame of the EURO-MET pr oject No. 297 and under the co-ordination of LPRI. The purpose of this action was to compare the main LSC activity concentration measurement methods currently used in radioactive metrology, and to exchange mode ls and ideas on LSC. This paper presents a summary of the results repo rted by the participant laboratories and an overview of the measuremen t methods used. (C) 1998 The National Physical Laboratory.
