The evaluated deposition densities agreed within 5% and 4% in terms of the coefficient of variation for radiocesium (¹³⁴Cs and ¹³⁷Cs) and ⁴⁰K, respectively, and the ratio of ¹³⁴Cs/¹³⁷Cs in deposition density agreed within 1% in terms of the coefficient of variation, by our best achievement through five intercomparisons. Two different methods for intercomparison were conducted: 1) simultaneous measurements in a narrow area within a 3 m radius; and 2) sequential measurements at an identical point. In a comparison between the two methods at a site where radiocesium was almost homogeneously distributed, no significant difference was observed between the results. The guidance for intercomparison method was proposed based on our experience, and are expected to be used effectively to ensure the reliability of in situ spectrometry.
