Abstract

The feasibility of correct NaI gamma-spectrometry activity measurement for each nuclide in 131I, 132I, 133I, 134I, 135I, 133Xe, 135mXe, 135Xe and 222Rn composition is presented. To get this result the special matrix method M3 and SAS Na M3 software were used for spectra processing. SAS Na M3 software was developed for complex NaI gamma-spectra processing. Special algorithms and auxiliary software are used to overcome the problems of the classic spectra processing matrix method. Being used for spectrum processing SAS Na M3 software determines the nuclide composition of the sample, activity of nuclides identified and activities uncertainties. The activity values estimation is made for nuclides not identified in the sample measured but included in SAS Na M3 software nuclides library. The values of minimal detectable activities for NaI ∅3''× 3'' gamma-spectrometer and 1 hour measuring time are ~ 0.6 Bq for 131I, 132I, 133I, 134I and ~ 2 Bq for 135I.
