Gamma Spectrometric Method Validation for the Measurements of 40K and 137Cs in the Milk Powder

In this study, gamma spectrometric method validation of the 40K and 137Cs in the milk powder was investigated. Each component of the method validation is evaluated and quantified. For this purpose, HpGe detectors with 20% efficiency n-type and 150% efficiency p-type were used.

Süt Tozundaki 40K ve 137Cs Ölçümleri için Gama Spektrometrik Metot Validasyonu

Bu çalışmada, süt tozundaki 40K ve 137Cs’nin gama spektrometrik metot validasyonu araştırılmıştır. Metot validasyonun her bir parametresi değerlendirilmiş ve belirlenmiştir. Bu amaçla, %20 verimli n-tipi ve %150 verimli p-tipi HPGe dedektörler kullanılmıştır.
