TY - JOUR T1 - Gamma Spectrometric Efficiency Measurement Uncertainty of 137Cs in the Vegetation Sample AU - Ağuş, Yusuf PY - 2019 DA - March DO - 10.18466/cbayarfbe.455494 JF - Celal Bayar University Journal of Science JO - CBUJOS PB - Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 1305-130X SP - 51 EP - 55 VL - 15 IS - 1 LA - en AB - In this study, gamma spectrometric efficiency measurement uncertainty of137Cs in vegetation sample is investigated. Each uncertaintycomponent is evaluated and quantified. For this purpose, n-type 70% efficiencyHPGe detector was used. The combined standard uncertainty of 137Csefficiency was found to be 2.43%.
