OSTI ID:7151652
This paper described the calibration techniques and associated error analysis for the in-vivo measurement by NaI spectrometry of heavy elements in the lung of personnel, specifically /sup 238/Pu, /sup 239/Pu and /sup 241/Am. A very brief description of the instrumentation system is included.
