A new method for radioactivity standardization in liquid scintillation counting was described. In the method a triple to double coincidence ratio was taken for a reference quantity of efficiency change and the coincidence counting was extrapolated to the value of TDCR=1
thus may lead to an approximate value for the sample activity directly.
This paper shows the principle of the method
the efficiency calculation and the estimate of the uncertainty. The measured result for tritiated water coincides with the nominal value of the NBS standard within an uncertainty of ±0.63%.
