Gamma Spectrometric Measurements of Depth-related Radionuclide Distribution in Walls

Original language description

The method for depth-related radionuclide distribution was evolved for approximate determination of spatial lay-out of radionuclides in materials. The method for depth-related radionuclide distribution is based on the different attenuation coefficients for various energies of gamma radiation. For each material is the attenuation coefficient decreasing with the rising energy of radiation. Therefore it is possible to assess a localization of radionuclides in material. This application should be suitable for localization of radionuclides in the walls of buildings, where high doses rates from gamma radiation occur. Doses are caused by natural radionuclides mainly from radium and it represents a higher risk associated with the inhalation of radon and its decay products. In this case, gamma lines with energies 609keV and 1764keV produced by nuclide 214Bi were used for depth-related radionuclide distribution.
