MICROCONTROLLER ATMEGA328P TIMER/COUNTER FOR SINGLE CHANNEL GAMMA SPECTROSCOPY

Soil contamination may occur in the upcoming decommissioning activities of TRIGA2000 Reactor. Measurement contaminant radioactivity, which can be performed using single-channel spectroscopy, is required soil decontamination processes. This research develops a timer/counter system for spectroscopy microcontroller. The performance ATMega328P microcontroller Timer/Counter on Arduino has been tested spectroscopy. Microcontroller's 1 used as counter while 2 timer. Tests include linearity test, comparative and chi-square test. test results show that works well end spectroscopic system.
