Chlorine-36 (Half life = 3.01E+05 yrs) is used for the evaluation of the activation of cooling water of nuclear reactors, decoding of human nuclear activities recorded in ice cores, dating by in situ cosmogenic 36Cl in carbonate samples, so on. Due to recent increasing demand for measurement of low 36Cl/Cl ratio, the background of 36Cl-AMS system at MALT, The University of Tokyo was evaluated, and its improvement has been tried.
