In gamma-ray spectrometry the activities are calculated from areas of the peaks appearing in the spectrum. If a peak used in the activity calculations appears in the spectrometer background its count rate must be corrected for the background contribution. The significance of this correction becomes essential in spectral analyzes where activities close to the minimum detectable activity need to...

The measurement of amounts of plutonium is recognised as one of the most important tasks in fissile material control. Public opinion is especially sensitive to this element, which presents analysts with a difficult task of measuring plutonium at all levels from large (multi-gram) amounts down to traces in the environment. The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) is one of...
