Résumé
We report here on the primary activity standardisation of a <sup>223</sup> Ra dichloride solution in equilibrium with its decay daughters. Both the triple-to-double-coincidence-ratio (TDCR) method with an in-house TDCR detector and the CIEMAT-NIST efficiency tracing (CNET) technique with a commercial counter were used. The liquid scintillation efficiencies for both methods are about 6 while the activities they predict with about 0.4% relative standard uncertainty agree within 0.15%. For backup, the solution was also standardised with 4πγ NaI(Tl) integral counting with a well-type NaI(Tl) detector, and efficiencies computed by Monte Carlo simulations using the GEANT code. This simple technique, unused previously for this nuclide, yielded an activity concentration compatible with, but 1% lower than, the one determined by liquid scintillation counting.
