Calibration of a HP-Germanium Detector for Rapid In-situ Determination of Environmental Radioactivity.

摘要

The method of in situ gamma-spectrometric determination of environmental radioactivity was introduced in the environmental monitoring system of the research centre at Seibersdorf (Austria). The semiconductor detector (HP-Ge) was calibrated and tested for field measurements of natural and artificial radionuclides distributed on/in the soil. The method and its application is discussed, the way of calibration and some of the model calculations are presented as well as results of intercomparison measurements with the Health Physics Department of the Central Research Institute for Physics in Budapest. 19 refs., 10 figs., 14 tabs.
