This document describes the methods for determining the activity in becquerel (Bq) of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides in test samples by gamma-ray spectrometry. The measurements are carried out in a testing laboratory following proper sample preparation. The test samples can be solid, liquid or gaseous. Applications include:
— routine surveillance of radioactivity released from nuclear installations or from sites discharging enhanced levels of naturally occurring radioactive materials;
— contributing to determining the evolution of radioactivity in the environment;
— investigating accident and incident situations, in order to plan remedial actions and monitor their effectiveness;
— assessment of potentially contaminated waste materials from nuclear decommissioning activities;
— surveillance of radioactive contamination in media such as soils, foodstuffs, potable water, groundwaters, seawater or sewage sludge;
— measurements for estimating the intake (inhalation, ingestion or injection) of activity of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides in the body.
