a multifaceted radiochemical testing procedure has been developed to analyze a large number of liquid samples and measure a wide range of radionuclides in a short period of time. This method involves a single unique and fast sample separation procedure in which the same prepared sample can be selectively analyzed by gross alpha counting, Gamma-ray spectroscopy, and alpha spectroscopy. This wide range of analytical capability allows for utilizing this method as a quick screening procedure or for identifying and quantifying most gamma- and alpha-emitting radionuclides. The main focus of this presentation will be the recent success of performing thick source alpha spectroscopy.
