Abstract
A Quality Assessment Programme (QAP) was initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in 1998 to establish creditability in the measurements of radionuclides in contaminated environmental samples; soil, vegetation and air filters. For this purpose the Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) Laboratory at the Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH), an IAEA Regional Resource Unit (IAEA-RRU), along with 76 other well-known and relevant international laboratories were invited to participate in a regular proficiency programme. The measurement procedures employed, the problems encountered and the improvements and experience gained by the NAA Laboratory throughout this exercise are presented.
