The use of low-background liquid scintillation counting (ISC) techniques permits the simultaneous measurement of both alpha and beta emitters with efficiencies close to 100%. In this study, the counting parameters of a Wallac 1220TM Quantulus IS counter have been optimized for the best possible separation of the a and 3 spectra when
