Description

When the radioactivity in environmental samples was quantified by gamma-ray spectrometry, geometric conditions of the sample greatly affect the measurement. There is a very valuable sample in the environmental samples. Therefore, it cannot be measured by physical destruction. And so, it was attempted that the dummy gamma-ray source is manufactured by using a 3D scanner and 3D printer. As a result, with the use of a reagent involving natural radionuclide, it was possible to create a detection efficiency curve to match the shape of the dummy gamma-ray source. Therefore, it has become possible to create dummy gamma-ray source with high accuracy in a short period of time. (author)
