Equipment

The gamma spectrometry laboratory has several low-level measuring stations for the highly sensitive, nuclide-specific detection of radioactivity in a wide variety of samples. The achievable detection limits depend on the measurement time and the sample geometry. Typical values for the detection limit of Co-60 at a measurement time of 15 hours are 0.05 Bq for a flat geometry (diameter 6 cm) and 0.3 Bq for a ring bowl (content 1 l).
