Abstract

Airborne gamma spectrometry is an effective tool for prompt monitoring and mapping of large areas contaminated after NPP accident, radionuclides leakage cases, an impact of uranium ore mining and processing, etc. Airborne spectrometry data analysis using deconvolution technique enables to calculate air kerma rates and/or radionuclides concentrations as well as identification of radionuclides. Application of this technique on the airborne data (from manned as well as an unmanned survey using drones) is rather specific due to the requirements for short time of one scan data acquisition, a relatively long distance from the source and small detector size, due to the limited payload of the usually used drones. Application of deconvolution techniques for analysis of spectra with very poor statistics, methods and possibilities to improve the processing of such spectra are discussed.
