In-Situ Gamma Spectroscopy
Classical methods of gamma spectroscopy involve the taking of samples into a counting room for analysis in a controlled environment. While this has potential advantages in terms of the precision on an individual result, when the sample is spread over a wide area or is in a fixed location such as a pipeline, it is much easier and less costly to measure samples In Situ. These measurements, while simpler to carry out, are prone to difficulty, usually related to calibration. While a laboratory sample may be for example placed in a Marinelli beaker and counted in a geometry for which there is a replicate traceable standard, no such standards generally exist for in-situ measurements.
Examples of in-situ gamma-spectroscopy measurement problems and solutions:
- Assessment of specific activity (per unit area, mass or volume) of contamination or fall-out on the ground with a tripod or cart-mounted HPGe detector
- Aerial surveys
- Assessment of specific activity per unit area in contaminated buildings
- In situ measurement of containerised waste
- In situ measurement of in-process radioactive materials “hold up”
