Popis: Methodological questions concerning the use of gamma spectrometers for measuring gas-aerosol emissions from nuclear power plants and radiation monitoring of the environment by remote gamma spectrometry are examined. A system of intercoupled programs was developed to solve this problem. This system makes it possible to calculate the energy-angular distribution of the gamma ray flux created at the monitoring point from a uniform extended volume source with user-prescribed characteristics and measuring geometry. The computational result is used as a source for direct simulation of the line shape in the NaI(Tl) crystal spectrometer used.
