Abstract
The effect of the composition of the used standard reference material (SRM) on results of determination of fallout radionuclides in soil samples was studied. Using five soil types as SRMs, we measured the specific activity of (210)Pb and (137)Cs in six target samples of Chestnut soil. It was observed that the determination of the (210)Pb activity in the samples depended on the chemical composition of SRMs used to create the efficiency curves. Thus, using SRMs similar in chemical composition to the target samples should improve accuracy in the determination of (210)Pb in environmental samples.
