Uncertainty estimation is an important aspect of method validation. Measurement uncertainty is also to be considered when decisions have to be made based on measurement results. Generally, uncertainty associated with nuclear counting analyses are attributed to two main components of uncertainty; one is related to sampling, the other to sample preparation and the subsequent nuclear counting....
The interpretation, evaluation and visualisation of radioactivity proficiency test exercises (PTEs) are presented in this paper.
Data submitted as part of NPL radioactivity measurement PTEs between 1989 and 2018 represents a useful resource for gauging current capabilities for radioactivity measurement since it includes ~14 000 individual reported measurements; since this programme was...
The IAEA Environment Laboratories produce reference materials that may be used by laboratories world-wide for quality assurance and quality control purposes, as well as for method development, validation of analytical procedures and for training. The materials are certified and focus on the measurement of radionuclides in the marine environment, and include marine sediment, seawater, mussels...
