Evaluation of 137Cs in pond sedment with an underwater HPGe detector
Description
At the Savannah River Site during the past year, an underwater high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector was used to inventory 137Cs in sediment of a reactor cooling pond. Dam maintenance required lowering the water level of the pond by 6 m, and the gamma-emitting radionuclides in the exposed sediment needed preevaluation. Although earlier 137Cs data were available, there were no comprehensive underwater gamma spectrometric measurements of the sediment
