Abstrakt: The evaluation of body burdens of radionuclides in large populations is a health physics problem of considerable importance. Measurement with the whole-body gamma-spectrometer provides the best technique for this evaluation. A “portable” whole-body counter, such as the BNL model, makes it possible to carry out studies in remote areas.
