Characterization of radioactive contamination using geostatistics

摘要

The objective of radiological characterization is to find a suitable balance between gathering data (constrained by cost, deadlines, accessibility or radiation) and managing the issues (waste volumes, levels of activity or exposure). It is necessary to have enough information to have confidence in the results without multiplying useless data. Geostatistical data processing considers all available pieces of information: historical data, non-destructive measurements and laboratory analyses of samples.
