Description:
The Risø scintillation gamma spectrometry system is intended for routine analysis of natural radionuclide activity concentrations for use in dosimetry calculations in luminescence age determination.
The system includes detector, dedicated analytical software and calibration standards.
This simple scintillator-based spectrometry system is a useful laboratory method for accurate and precise determination of burial dose rates at a significantly lower cost than high resolution gamma spectrometry. This, combined with the large (and so more representative) sample size, makes it a strong competitor to other analytical methods used in OSL dating.
