APPLICATION OF FSA METHOD TO ANALYZE ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY WITH MARINELLI BEAKER SAMPLE
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this work, we applied the FSA (Full Spectrum Analysis) method to analyze the environmental radioactive isotopes 238U, 232Th, 40K in soil samples with Marinelli beaker geometry using gamma spectrometer. The soil samples IAEA-SL-2 and KL-01 were used to test the reliability of the FSA method. The analytical result of soil samples by the FSA method was compared with the result obtained by the EWA (Window Energy Analysis) method. After that, we evaluated advantages of the FSA method in comparison with traditional analytical method.
