Dear Mr. Kruger3
We are sending 17 assorted samples from the Pacific for ana
The
numbers are 1,02), 1026, 028, 1030, 032, 03h, 4035-7, and OL7-She
These samples are to be amlyzedfor total beta activity for Sr-90 and
for calcium. We would like these to be given highest priority in your
laboratory as the need for the results is quite inmediate. —
I am enclesing with this letter a sheet specifying ow recommendations
for total beta measurements.
In addition, we would like to specify
that these samples are to. be wet ashed rather than dry ashed due to
their small size.
‘the activity in all cases should be high enough soe
that good statistics can be obtained with short counting periods.
I believe that there will be further samples of this type in’ the near
future and we will pess them along as secon as received.
.
Sincerely,
John H. Harley, Chief
Analytical Branch
Enclosure!
