Non-destructive technique to verify clearance of pipes [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2010
A semi-empirical, non-destructive technique to evaluate the activity of gamma ray emitters in contaminated pipes is discussed. The technique is based on in-situ measurements by a portable NaI gamma ray spectrometer.
