We have developed a method to directly detect $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y under a high gamma ray background using a liquid light guide Cherenkov counter. Cherenkov radiation has the characteristic that the angle of radiation varies depending on the energy of the charged particles. Using this feature, we have developed a surface contamination detector capable of discriminating between 662 keV gamma rays from $$^{137}$$Cs and beta rays from $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y through time-of-flight analysis of the Cherenkov radiation generated inside the liquid light guide. With this detector, we conducted a measurement test of $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y inside the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 reactor building and achieved the first in-situ detection of $$^{90}$$Sr/$$^{90}$$Y under a high gamma-ray background.
