ABSTRACT
Following accidental releases, gamma spectrometry of impregnated charcoal filters is used to measure gaseous 131I contamination, but is subject to sampling inhomogeneity. In this study two germanium detectors are calibrated using a charcoal multi-gamma standard. Activities in samples spiked with a matrix of 131I aliquots are compared based on measurement, spike known activity, and monte-carlo simulation, and used to test a simple mixing method. Measurement efficiency, and removal of 11% inhomogeneity effect by mixing, was successfully reproduced in GESPECOR calculations.
