    Abstract

    Eleven laboratories participated in an intercomparison of activity concentration measurements using liquid scintillation counting (LSC) for the standardization of 63Ni and 55Fe in the frame of the EUROMET project 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 models and ideas on LSC. This paper presents a summary of the results reported by the participant laboratories and an overview of the measurement methods used.
