Gamma
Spectroscopy
RSSI
analyzes environmental, commercial, and research material for
radiation using high-resolution gamma spectroscopy.
Using this system, RSSI can identify the type and quantity of naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides in
a sample.
Our
high-resolution gamma spectroscopy system is used to test samples
such as:
-
Soil containing naturally-occurring or man-made
radionuclides;
-
Vegetation, foodstuffs, and raw materials near
nuclear disaster sites such as
Chernobyl or Fukushima;
-
Water, sludge, and filter media from water
or sewage treatment facilities;
-
Components of
building materials;
-
Precursor chemicals for industrial
production; and
-
Environmental samples from fossil and
nuclear power plants.
Gamma spectroscopy is a non-destructive testing method.
Gamma spectroscopy
samples are analyzed against a library of radionuclides as
specified by the client (e.g. naturally-occurring, Cs-137).
Depending on
the required radionuclides, samples are analyzed either on receipt
or after an in-growth period of at least 30 days. In either
case, reports are available within 5 business days of the sample
being analyzed. As with all of RSSI's laboratory services,
expedited turnaround is available. Samples requiring an a
radon daughter in-growth period are held at no charge.
After analysis,
samples can be returned to the client or will be held before
disposal for at least a full month. Samples can be analyzed
multiple times or saved spectra reanalyzed with additional
radionuclides in a library.
