Abstract

In this study, gamma spectrometric efficiency measurement uncertainty of
137Cs in vegetation sample is investigated. Each uncertainty
component is evaluated and quantified. For this purpose, n-type 70% efficiency
HPGe detector was used. The combined standard uncertainty of 137Cs
efficiency was found to be 2.43%.

Keywords
