I have done for more than 10 years monitoring drinking water in Austria for

alpha- and beta-activity. The investment for the counting device (liquid

scintillation) might be expensive, but the actual costs per sample will

become very low, depending on the number of samples to be measured.



If there is some real interest in this question, please contact me at my

private e-mail address.
