Comparison of new method with traditional ϒ-spectrometry ValentiRodellas- UA Barcelona (on Thursday) signal on RadeCC 226Ra [dpm] Very cheap and simple method to determine 226Ra in water
Summary • Final measurement still stands out (planned for October-November) • Preliminary data show vertical mixing in the lower 1000m between ~0.5 and 10 cm2/s • Data point to an additional source and lateral mixing in ~3000-3500 m- Other data? • Evaluation has resulted a very promising method to measure 226Ra with a simple counting system.
