A waste sample exhibits radioactivity.In order the determine the total level of radioactivity of the sample,which of the following should be used?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A combination of a Geiger counter and a scintillation counter should be used in order to determine the total level of radioactivity of the waste sample. This is because a Geiger counter is useful for detecting and measuring high levels of radioactivity, while a scintillation counter is more sensitive and can detect lower levels of radioactivity. By using both instruments together, the total level of radioactivity in the sample can be accurately measured. The gamma camera scanner is not as suitable for measuring total level of radioactivity, as it is primarily used for imaging and detecting specific patterns of radiation in the body.
