Germanium detector efficiency calibration for radiological monitoring of nuclear plant effluents
Description
A brief comparison is given of various efficiency calibration methods as they apply to intermediate to small size laboratories. The choice of radionuclides for calibration standards, sources of errors in the efficiency determination, and fitting functions for efficiency curves are discussed. Much of the paper reviews previously published work; however, original work on fitting functions applied to a wide variety of sample geometries using various manufacturer's detectors is presented
