Forty 10Be samples of Antarctic ice (DSS0506-pit) along with associated procedural blanks, measured at the ANTARES AMS facility at ANSTO were found to have 10-100 times the 10B levels of routine BeO samples and blanks (full procedural blanks with this beryl carrier are typically 10Be/9Be <5 x 10-...
