Two kinds of 4 pi BETA - gamma '' coincidence methods can be used for the calibration of BETA - gamma and EC- gamma emitting radionuclides with complex disintegration schemes: (1) an extrapolation method which gives the activity without involving the parameters of the disintegration schemes, and (2) a method using the disintegration scheme parameters. Some examples of the second method are examined:⁶⁵Zn, ⁹⁹Mo, ⁵⁹Fe. Then some cases of other coincidence techniques are considered; viz., X/sub K- gamma /, X_K-X_K, X_L-X_L and K-- L coincidence methods applied respectively to ⁵⁴Mn, ¹²⁵I, i¹⁹⁷Hg/ and ¹³¹Cs.
