Abstract

The American National Standard "Calibration and Use of Germanium Spectrometers for the Measurement of Gamma-Ray Emission Rates of Radionuclides" has been reissued as N42.14-1999. The performance tests in it can be used to make sure that a gamma-spectroscopy program is set up correctly. The same tests can also be used to verify the improvements made by program developers. However, sometimes the tests in this ANSI standard are not enough. To satisfy certain quality assurance requirements, it is necessary to demonstrate that the results are correct either by hand calculations or by comparing the results to known values.
