The Krakow Radiocarbon Laboratory is part of the Environmental Physics Department headed by T Florkowski and belongs to the Institute of Physics and Nuclear Techniques, The Academy of Mining and Metallurgy. A 3H and 14C laboratory was built primarily for the assessment of natural radioactivity in groundwater. In 1982, 14C preparation facilities were extended to include a combustion system for organic samples. The 14C measurement method is liquid scintillation counting on synthesized benzene in an LSC spectrometer TRI-CARB model 3320 (Packard International).
