| Summary: | Liquid Scintillation has two main characteristics: the lack of resolution and the capability to determine alpha and beta emitters. Society evolves toward a situation where information is key for management and where sustainability is also of paramount importance for the future of the planet. In this scenario, this article suggests to continue implementing the use of Plastic/Extractive Scintillating resins and to rescue some capabilities of the scintillation to design specific and miniaturize detectors that include alpha/beta discrimination based on particle attenuation or scintillators emission wavelength. These approaches will complement laboratory analysis and are aligned with the demands of the society. |
