放射能測定法シリーズ

Gamma-ray spectrometry using a germanium semiconductor detector is widely applied for environmental radiation monitoring in emergencies, but has issues specific to emergency situations such as misrecognition of γ-ray peaks since it requires analysis and evaluation of complicated γ-ray spectra. This manual provides explanations on these emergency-specific issues and how to address them using actual examples, while giving consideration to broadly sharing findings from the accident at the TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
