GAMMA SPECTROMETRIC DETERMINATION OF CESIUM-137 IN FOOD MATERIALS

Journal Article · · Koshu Eiseiin Kenkyu Hokoku (Japan)
OSTI ID:4762074
Radioactive Cs/sup 137/ and potassium were determined in total diet samples by multi-channel gamma spectroscopy, by the use of a heavily shielded 7.5 x 7.5 cm NaI (Tl) crystal as a detector. The sensitivity of the method is 50- 100 mu mu C with an error of plus or minus 10--20%. The accuracy is 5% when Cs/sup 137/ is present in amount of more than 200 mu mu C. (Public Health Eng.
