Popis: Neural networks, particularly deep neural networks, are used nowadays with great success in several tasks, such as image classification, image segmentation, translation, text to speech, speech to text, achieving super-human performance. In this study, we explore the capabilities of deep learning on a new field: gamma-spectroscopy analysis, comparing the classification performance of different deep neural network architectures. We choose VGG-16, VGG-19, Xception, ResNet, InceptionV3, and MobileNet architectures, which are available through the Keras Deep Learning framework to identify several different radionuclides (Am-241, Ba133, Cd-109, Co-60, Cs-137, Eu-152, Mn-54, Na-24, and Pb-210). Using an HPGe detector to acquire several gamma spectra from different sealed sources to create a dataset used for the training and validation of the comparison of the neural network. This study demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of applying deep learning on gamma-spectroscopy analysis for nuclear waste characterization.
