A technique has been developed for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory(SNO), where each component of the background in the D2O and H2O can be measured. The technique relies on a proportional counter (PCS) which acts both as a detector as well as a source. If various sources such as 228Th are placed on the anode of the proportional counter, the beta-decay is tagged by the PCS, and the Čerenkov radiation that is produced is detected by SNO. The method aims to make a background and distortion free measurement of the NHIT spectrum of each source in SNO. This report briefly introduces SNO, and describes the use of the PCS in SNO.
