Measuring Environmental Radioactivity: Requirements, Methods, Challenges

摘要：

Several aspects of environmental radioactivity measurements are surveyed. Starting with the development and goals of the surveillance of environmental radioactivity, the radionuclide coverage needed, the required sensitivities, and the materials to be analyzed are discussed. Presently used analytical and measurement methods are shortly reviewed. Emphasis is laid upon new and advanced techniques for both decay measurements and mass spectrometric methods. Because of the importance of environmental radioactivity measurements for regulatory issues, political decision making and for public discussions there is an extreme need for high quality data. Therefore, current issues of quality assurance and control, of international standardization and harmonization are dealt with in detail. Finally, the needs for dissemination of environmental radioactivity measurements in the public are discussed and possible future developments of environmental radioactivity measurements are outlined.
