In situ, high-resolution, gamma-ray spectrometry of a total number of 70 outdoor and 20 indoor representative measurements were performed in preselected, common locations of the main urban areas of Cyprus. Specific activities and gamma absorbed dose rates in air due to the naturally occurring radionuclides of (232)Th and (238)U series, and (40)K are determined and discussed. Effective dose rate...

Archived Airborne Gamma Spectrometry (AGS) data from the 1991 NIREX characterisations of Caithness have been recovered. The separate gamma spectrometry and positional data streams for approximately 120,000 measurements have been combined into a single data stream using the European Radiometrics and Spectrometry (ERS) data format. An analysis using working calibration coefficients and spectral s...

below and are based on some basic concepts about how the detection process works, how gamma rays penetrate materials, and the principles of gamma-ray spectroscopy. Unresolved choice issues can be reduced to a level where they have little or no impact on the resultant performance of the spectrometry system. This document explains how you can easily make a wise, well-informed choice. We assume yo...

This article brings the results of a method for quality assurance in gamma-ray spectrometry of seabed sediments. Sediments were collected in selected locations of the South and Middle Adriatic Sea using grab and corer tools. Using our own experimental design, we determined the self-attenuation factors of selected samples. The article also discusses sources of uncertainty in gamma-ray spectromet...

The 12 NaI(Tl)-detector gamma-ray spectrometry system (GSS) “Romashka”[1,2] has recently been equipped with a new computer controlled HVSys 16 channel high-voltage power supply with preselected single channel polarity [3] (Fig.1). In order to do some preliminary checks of the GSS chains’ characteristics, a single channel gamma-spectrometry tract was commissioned. It was consist of a single Roma...

background: the present research has focused on the effect of radioactivity on drinking water from five sites in the region of zahedan city. materials and methods: the measurement of water activity in wells, river and spring has been used as a screening method. the determination of gamma emitters was performed by use the application of gamma spectrometry. results: the values of radium concentra...
