Exercise spectra and samples

There will be an opportunity for those interested to participate in intercomparison exercises. Participants are kindly expected to fill the required information in the registration form for participation. Information on this year's exercises can be found below.

• Exercise 1a) measurement of a sediment sample and reporting on the results as instructed.
• Exercise 1b) measurement of a water sample and reporting on the results as instructed.
• Exercise 2a) involves 9 gamma spectra including data for calibration, analysis, correction for self-absorption, background, efficiency transfer. The zip folder contains a text file that describes the task to solve.
• Exercise 2b) analysis of a gamma spectrum for identification of radionuclides and of the type of sample in question.

The exercise spectrum for Exercise 2b can be downloaded from this link.
