Abstract :
A new field technique for detecting alpha and
beta radionuclides in water samples has been developed.
The technique entails concentrating a 0.5 L water sample
with Actinide Resin (Eichrom Technologies, Inc.), then
co-precipitating MnO2 and detecting the results with a
GQ GMC-600+. Geiger Muller's counter. A standard
method was also used to detect the gross alpha and beta
activity in the same samples of water. A total of 10 samples
were collected from wells and boreholes in different
locations within the Pankshin metropolis
