Interaction between practitioners in gamma ray spectrometry in the Nordic countries, was once sparse and fragmented.

The GammaSem seminars provide a forum for discussion and sharing of information on practical issues concerning gamma spectrometry and establishing a network of users of gamma spectrometry in the Nordic countries. The network strengthens Nordic collaboration between gamma spectrometry users, and improves competences in practical gamma spectrometry. The funding from NKS contributes to building such a network through contributing to the seminars and work to be done in the time period between them.

[[Wiki info]] [[Editing GammaWiki]] (only for co-ordinators of GammaWorkshops work groups)
The seminar in 2009 was attended by 75 participants from 34 organisations. Key issues for follow-up were identified and 6 working groups established on various aspects of gamma spectrometry. The working group topics are:
 
#uncertainties and detection limits
 
#true coincidence summing corrections
 
#Monte Carlo calculations
 
#absorption corrections
 
#mobile systems, and
 
#nuclear forensics.
 
The topics for the working groups form the basis for the seminar in 2010 where the groups will present results of their work and ideas/solutions to the problems. Each working group will contribute to the final report for the activity. The number of participants of the GammaSem activity has been expanded to include the working group coordinators.
 
 
 
The GammaSem working groups and participants will ensure contact between the gamma spectrometry users between and possibly after the seminars. The participants will organise a web site with a mailing list that will make it easier to contact Nordic colleagues on issues related to gamma spectrometry.

Welcome to GammaWiki

GammaWiki is a resource webpage for Nordic users of gamma spectrometry. This work is supported by the Nordic Nuclear Safety Research (NKS). GammaWiki is a product of the NKS GammaSpec 2016 activity, which is an independent continuation of the GammaUser (2014), GammaTest (2013), GammaWorkshop (2011-2012), and GammaSem (2009) activities. If you wish to read about GammaSpec 2016, you can do so here. The GammaSpec 2017 workshop was held in September 2017 in Risø. Read all about here.

Background

Interaction between practitioners in gamma ray spectrometry in the Nordic countries, was once sparse and fragmented. A group of practitioners of gamma spectrometry decided to organize a meeting to bring together experts in the Nordic region for conversation and sharing of experiences. They successfully applied for support from the NKS, and the first GammaSem activity was started in 2009. The response was strong, and the meeting became a great success.

For information on past seminars, see our Past meetings page.

The accident at the Fukushima NPP in 2011 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.
