Welcome to GammaWiki
NKS-B GammaTest: Nordic workshop and intercomparison for users of gamma spectrometry
Contents
GammaTest 2013
A follow-up on issues identified at the two NKS GammaSem seminars, held in 2009 and 2010; and the GammaWorkshops held in 2011 and 2012.
The previous workshop and seminars have aimed at focus on topics of relevance for the participants, including methods for corrections and calibrations in gamma spectrometry. The feedback has been positive, one of the participants in a workshop commented that it had been the "most interesting and useful workshop ever attended".
The accident at the Fukushima NPP highlighted many challenges in modern gamma spectrometry, such as dealing with complex spectra not encountered on a routine basis, application of appropriate corrections (such as true coincidence summing), estimation of ground contamination and radionuclide concentrations in soils in general.
The form of the GammaTest is to enable the users to address the problems in gamma spectrometry they find most pressing, through lectures and practical exercises in addition to sharing their experience with others in a similar position. What is new this year is the inclusion of an intercomparision, both involving real samples and measured spectra. This will enable the participants to evaluate the progress made in recent years and where improvements are most needed.
The programme is being prepared by a working group consisting of: Elisabeth Strålberg (IFE), Sigurður Emil Pálsson (IRSA), Henrik Ramebäck (FOI), Sven P. Nielsen (DTU/Risø) and Seppo Klemola (STUK). Information on agenda and links to technical background material will be updated on this GammaWiki web site: https://www.gr.is/wiki/GammaWiki/
Location and time of GammaTest 2013
GammaTest 2013 will be held in Umeå, Sweden, September 17-19 2013.
