Water quality testing

Water quality testing include determination of activity of 222Rn, 226Ra, 228Ra and uranium. All analyses are performed in framework of individual contract.
Sample delivery should be announced by phone above mentioned.
Sample volume for analysis is 6-8 l.
Water should be sampled after 15-20 water flow run.
Only hermetical bottles could be used for water sampling.
Sample should be delivered not later than in 2-3 days after sampling.
Radiochemical analyses of water require 10-15 working days.

To analyze complicate water source which contain more than one drilled well one complete set of analyses should be performed for averaged sample. Each individual sample require radon-222 analyze. For that purposes bottle of 0,5 l should be used.


Each sample should be followed with corresponding information:
Well depth,
Well debit,
To whom it belong (name and address).
How many peoples utilized water?

Graduated Radio physics department in Kiev State University 1986. Since the end of 1986 (Chornobyl accident) I deal with radioactivity measurement. It includes radiometric measurement services based on liquid scintillation spectroscopy: radiocarbon, tritium and natural radio-nuclides in variety of environmental application, gamma-spectroscopy. I have practice in lab management. I am familiar with installation of radiometric laboratory (planning of lab, buying and installation of equipment, methods, quality assurance practice) installation of conventional radiocarbon dating lab. My dissertations are on "Monitoring of main beta emitting radionuclides" and 'Optimization of radiation monitoring in Ukraine".
