Based on the encouraging results of our initial efforts to develop a Sr-90 accelerator mass spectrometry capability, we have undertaken efforts to enhance our system. By changing some key operating parameters and constructing an optimized detector we were able to improve the discrimination of Sr-90 from the isobaric interference Zr-90 and reduce our instrumental background by nearly two orders of magnitude. Our current background (4 x 10(6) atoms, 3 mBq) is comparable to that achievable by decay counting, but is still a factor of ten higher than what is theoretically predicted based on the efficiency of our system. Therefore, future plans include implementation of a time-of-flight system to improve the rejection of Zr-90.
