Ge(Li) Low Level In-Situ Gamma-Ray Spectrometer Applications

Currently we are employing a Ge(Li) spectrometer for in-situ measurements of radionuclides contained in soil. This is being done at nuclear reactor sites and in complex radionuclide fields at the Nevada Test Site. The methodology and precision of the in-situ spectrometric technique has previously been established for analysis of radionuclides in soil. Application of the technique to gaseous and liquid effluents containing radionuclides has shown a great deal of promise.
