Since 1976, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) operates the International Reference System (SIR) which provides international comparisons of radioactivity standards. This system is based on a re-entrant ionization chamber and a specific approach to provide robust comparison values over decades [1]. Although the system has proven its worth for many gamma-emitting...

In gamma-ray spectrometry the analysis of low-energy gamma-emitting nuclides like 210Pb, 129I needs special attention because the gamma attenuation in the sample depends on the specific element composition of the sample material. Hence, a material- or sample-specific self-attenuation correction is necessary. For that purpose, attenuation correction procedures have been developed in the past...
