90Sr is an important radioactive nuclide for environmental impact assessment on atomic accidents or nuclear bomb tests. However, it is difficult to measure 90Sr rapidly by the usual method. 90Sr-AMS has been developed with the 6 MV tandem accelerator mass spectrometry system at the University of Tsukuba. SrF3- could be extracted about 400 nA from SrF2 samples mixed with PbF2. 90Sr8+ with an energy of 51.8 MeV was detected by the gas ionization detector. The detection limit of 90Sr isotopic ratio was achieved about 6 × 10-13 (~3 mBq) by AMS.
