Description

Evaluating measurement uncertainty of a physical quantity is a mandatory requirement for laboratories within the recognition ISO/IEC 17025 certification to access the reliability of measured results. In this work, the uncertainty of ionizing radiation measurements such as air-kerma, personal dose equivalent Hp(10) , activity concentration of 137Cs in sea water was evaluated based on GUM method and Monte Carlo method. Uncertainty propagation computer software has been developed for more convenient evaluation of the measurement uncertainty. (author)
