TSEE and TSL phenomena have been measured for ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ single crystals by the use of the $2{\pi}$ proportional counter. The ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ crystals irradiated to X-ray and UV for the temperature range from room temperature to about 500k degree. Three peaks of TSEE and three peaks of TSL were observed after X-ray irradiation. Also, two peaks of TSEE and three TSL peaks were observed after UV irradiation. TSEE and TSL glow curves of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ single crystals showed very similar to the peaks position regardless of excitation sorts. Form this work, we knew that the $2{\pi}$ proportional counter is useful to not only the energy spectrum analysis device of ${\alpha}$-particle, but also the measurement instrument of TSEE and TSL.

The activity measurement of a solution of $^{133}Ba$ which is an electron capture nuclide was carried out by the ${\beta}-{\gamma}$ coincidence method. The counting rates at the ${\beta}-,\;{\gamma}-$, and coincidence-channels were measured using a $4{\pi}$ proportional counter and two NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors. The specific activity of the solution calculated by the efficiency extrapolation was $(1151.01{\pm}2.99)kBqg^{-1}$ at the reference time(00h UT, 03-15-84). According to an international comparison of activity measurements organized by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, this result showed the difference of 0.94% to the mean value derived from the comparison.
