Development of low level 226Ra analysis for live fish using gamma-ray spectrometry
Abstract
A low level 226Ra analysis method for live fish was developed using a 4π NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometer. In order to find out the best algorithm for accomplishing the lowest detection limit, the gamma-ray spectrum from a 226Ra point was collected and nine different methods were attempted for spectral analysis. The lowest detection limit of 0.99Bq for an hour counting occurred when the spectrum was integrated in the energy region of 50–2520keV. …
