AB  - Oko pola efektivne doze koju stanovništvo primi usled izlaganja jonizujućem zračenju potiče od radona i njegovih potomaka, te je problematika radona važna u oblasti zaštite od zračenja. Takođe, kao hemijski inertan gas, radon je našao primenu u izučavanju životne sredine kao traser za razne geološke i atmosferske procese. Jedna od važnih primena radona je u problematici praćenja gasova koji izazivaju efekat staklene bašte (greenhouse gases – GHG). Pokazano je da se poznavanjem fluksa radona iz zemlje i priraštaja koncentracije radona i koncentracije GHG u istom vremenskom intervalu tokom noći može odrediti fluks GHG. U ovom radu će biti prikazani odabrani rezultati nedavno završenog traceRadon projekta čiji je cilj bio razvijanje metrološki sledivih metoda merenja niskih koncentracija radona u atmosferi u granicama od 1 Bq m-3 do 100 Bq m-3, kao i unapređenje tehnika merenja i samo merenje radonskog fluksa, što će doprineti ispitivanju klimatskih promena kroz obezbeđivanje pouzdane procene fluksa GHG. Takođe, u sklopu projekta, vršila se procena do koje mere se radon u spoljašnjoj sredini i radonski fluks mogu koristiti za procenu radonskih prioritetnih oblasti.
AB  - Since more than a half of the effective doses from all ionising radiation come from the exposure to radon and its progeny, radon is important in the field of radiation protection. Being a noble gas and therefore chemically inert, radon is also used as a tracer for different geological and atmospheric processes. Radon is of interest to climate scientists for monitoring greenhouse gasses (GHG). It is known that by knowing radon flux and variation of radon and GHG concentration at the same period of time during the night, it is possible to estimate emission of GHG. In this paper, the most important results of recently finished EMPIR project 19ENV01 traceRadon “Radon metrology for use in climate change observation and radiation protection at the environmental level” are presented. Project aimed to develop the capability to measure SI traceable radon activity in the range of 1 Bq m-3 to 100 Bq m-3, suitable for outdoor radon measurements, to develop the capability for traceable radon flux measurements in the field which is important for GHG emission estimates and validation of contemporary radon flux models. Within the project it was investigated to what extent radon flux and outdoor radon data could be used for estimation of radon priority areas.

AB  - In accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, the testing laboratory needs to verify its ability to properly perform methods. For radiological testing, the sampling does not affect the results directly, but it has to ensure that sample adequately represents the tested material. To verify the procedure, a sampling of red mud and bauxite ore was conducted. All samples were measured in identical geometry by HPGe spectrometer. The counting rates per unit mass in the recorded spectra were compared. For each measurement series, the mean and standard deviations of respected peaks were calculated, as well as average and standard deviation of all series. The obtained results of each individual series were considered satisfactory, i.e. sampling procedure ensures the representativeness of the bulk material, if it is within ± two standard deviations of the average of the mean values.

AB  - In accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, the laboratory needs to verify its ability to properly perform methods before introducing them, by ensuring it can achieve the required performance (article 7.2.1.5). Also, if a laboratory carries out a sampling of a material, it needs to have a sampling plan and method established (article 7.3.1). In laboratories dealing with radionuclide content testing, the sampling does not affect the testing results directly, but the sampling procedure has to ensure that the taken and later measured sample adequately represents the tested material. In order to verify the sampling procedure for the needs of radiological tests, a sampling of red mud (13 samples) and bauxite ore (6 samples) was conducted in the aluminum factory “Alumina ltd”, Zvornik, Bosnia and Herzegovina in June 2021. In accordance with the established sampling procedure, GPS coordinate and ambient dose rate were recorded for each sample. Samples were prepared in accordance with IAEA, TRS 295 (1989), placed into identical PVC cylindrical boxes and measured by HPGe gamma spectrometer. Spectra of bauxite and red mud were recorded in 10 consecutive measurements for 21000 s and 6000 s, respectively, in order to achieve good statistic. For the purpose of sampling procedure verification, the counting rates per unit mass in the recorded spectra were compared. For each measurements series, the total counts in the spectrum as well as individual energies mean value and standard deviations were calculated. After the measurements were completed, the average of the each individual series mean values and the associated/corresponding standard deviation were calculated. The measurement result of each individual series is considered satisfactory if, taking into account the calculated standard deviation, it is within +/- two standard deviations of the average of the mean values. The obtained results verified the sampling procedure, i.e. it was shown that the applied sampling procedure ensures the representativeness of the bulk material

AB  - In accordance with ISO/IC 17025:2017 testing laboratory shall have a procedure for monitoring the validity of results that includes regular participation in interlaboratory comparisons. Interlaboratory comparison RADON2021 was organized in the frame of the bilateral project between Serbia and Montenegro: “Measurement of the radon equilibrium factor in typical residential buildings in Serbia and Montenegro and harmonization of radon measurement techniques” in order to assess congruence of different measurement techniques, and then harmonize methods in case of inconsistencies. Harmonization is of particular importance to neighboring countries, in order to avoid inconsistencies in the classification of radon risk zones along border areas. Thus, six regional laboratories took part in the intercomparison – three from Belgrade and one from Novi Sad, Serbia; one from Podgorica, Montenegro; one from Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. All laboratories participated in the indoor radon measurements, while 4 laboratories measured radon in the soil also. The measurement methods and detectors used by the laboratories were: • for air - EPA 402-R-92-004 – Indoor Radon and Radon Decay Product Measurement Devices Protocols, ch. 3.1. with RAD 7, RTM1688-2 and RadonEye; EPA 520/5-87-005 – 1987 EERF Standard Operating Procedures for Rn-222 Measurement Using Charcoal Canisters, ch. 3.4 using adsorption on charcoal canisters; ISO 11665- 4: Measurement of radioactivity in the environment – Air Radon 222: Part 4: Integrated measurement method for determining average activity concentration using passive sampling and delayed analysis with Electretes, and • for soil gas - ISO 11665-11:2016 Measurement of radioactivity in the environment — Air: radon-222 — Part 11: Test method for soil gas with sampling at depth by using active devices RTM1688-2 and RAD 7. The measurements were performed in real conditions where the radon concentration varied following a typical daily variation. Indoor radon concentrations were measured at four locations, while radon measurements in soil were performed at one location, all at the Vinča Institute site in the period from October 1 to October 8, 2021. The exposure period was consistent with a typical soil and indoor radon measurement protocols. The radon concentration in the soil was measured at depths of 20 cm and 80 cm. The robust mean and robust standard deviation were calculated as the mean of all measured radon concentrations (excluding outliers) and their standard deviation. Reference values of indoor radon covered the wide range of concentrations: (65 ± 9) Bq m-3 , (519 ± 80) Bq m-3 , (900 ± 160) Bq m-3 , (1980 ± 160) Bq m-3 , while in the soil reference values were (13350 ± 780) Bq m-3 and (26100 ± 2400) Bq m-3 at 20 cm and 80 cm depth, respectively. In order to assess whether there is a statistically significant difference between individual measurement results and the reference value, the Z - test was used as a criterion for success. If, for the calculated z value, |z| < 2 the result is satisfactory, if 2 < |z| < 3 the result is questionable, while for |z| > 3 result is not acceptable. All results of indoor radon measurements were satisfactory, except in the case of one measurement (for the lowest reference value) with electret, that was at the detection limit. Three laboratories had satisfactory results of radon concentration measurements in the soil, while the results of one laboratory were systematically lower, with z <-3, which indicated the need for additional analysis of the causes of systematic error and the possible need to change measurement protocols and/or re-calibration of used device.

AB  - Radon flux measurements provide information about how much radon rises from the ground toward the atmosphere, thus, they could serve as good predictors of indoor radon concentrations. Although there are many different mapping methods with many different input data, radon flux data are generally missing and are not included for the delineation of radon priority areas (RPA). The aim of this literature review is to investigate to what extent radon flux was used, or could be used, for the delineation of RPAs. Numerous factors influencing radon flux were identified, but quantifying their contribution to radon flux measurement still remains a challenge. Different methods and measuring devices were used for the determination of radon flux, thus it is necessary to identify possible inconsistencies in order to harmonise different radon flux measurements. Due to the complexity of radon flux measurements, only two countries were identified to have performed national surveys on outdoor radon, which were of much smaller scale compared to those on indoor radon. A positive correlation between radon flux and radon quantities, such as radon in soil gas and indoor radon, indicates that radon flux could be used as an input parameter for the estimation of RPA. By reviewing radon flux models, it was concluded that up-to-date modelled radon flux maps have reached excellent spatial resolution and will be further improved, hence, they could serve as an input for the estimation and delineation of RPA.

AB  - Doses from the exposure to outdoor radon are typically an order of magnitude smaller than those from indoor radon, causing a greater interest on investigation of the latter for radiation protection issues. As a consequence, assessment of radon priority areas (RPA) is mainly based on indoor radon measurements. Outdoor radon measurements might be needed to guarantee a complete estimation of radiological risk and may help to improve the estimation of RPA. Therefore, authors have analysed the available literature on outdoor radon to give an overview of outdoor radon surveys and potential correlation with indoor radon and estimation of RPA. The review has shown that outdoor radon surveys were performed at much smaller scale compared to indoor radon. Only a few outdoor radon maps were produced, with a much smaller density, covering a larger area, and therefore putting doubt on the representativeness of this data. Due to a large variety of techniques used for outdoor radon measurements and requirement to have detectors with a high sensitivity and resistance to harsh environmental conditions, a standardised measurement protocol should be derived. This is no simple endeavour since there are more applications in different scientific disciplines for outdoor radon measurements compared to indoor radon.

AB  - Background: Maps are important tools for geographic visualization of the state of the environment with respect to resources as well as to hazards. One of the hazards is indoor radon (Rn), believed to be the most important cause of lung cancer after smoking. In particular, as part of Rn mitigation policy and in compliance with the European Basic Safety Standards, EU Member States have to declare areas with elevated indoor Rn concentration levels. However, as this is done by national authorities according to individually chosen criteria, the resulting maps are not easily comparable.Objective: We aim to identify causes for the lack of compatibility of maps and suggest solutions for the problem.Design: This study draws from experiences of recent research projects, literature, and personal involvement of the authors in the discussions.Results: An overview is given on causes and effects of lack of compatibility between maps. Existing experiences are reported. Options for defining lack of compatibility and for identifying it are discussed. Methods for harmonization, that is, remediating lack of compatibility, are addressed.Conclusions: The difficulty of harmonization increases with the aggregation level of data which support maps. Harmonization is the more difficult, the higher aggregated the data are which support maps. In particular, harmonization of radon priority area maps is technically non-trivial, and theoretical efforts as well as practical tests will have to be undertaken.

AB  - This paper aims to estimate a potential radiological risk from different kinds of coals used for domestic heating in Serbia, by measuring the activity concentration of radionuclides and radon exhalation rate. The obtained radon mass exhalation rate ranges from (5.3 ± 3.1) mBqkg–1s–1 to (70.3 ± 9.4) mBqkg –1s–1 and was highest for lignite type of coal. It is estimated that coal stored in the basement could contribute up to 50 Bqm–3 of indoor radon concentration at the ground level. Activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, 238U, 235U, and 210Pb in analysed coal samples agree with previously reported concentrations of coal used in Serbia. The values of radium equivalent concentration and external hazard index indicate that the used coal does not represent a significant radiation hazard.

AB  - Thermal power plants, as potential pollutants that have a great impact on the environment, have, among other things, the obligation to conduct regular control of radioactivity in the living and working environment. Radionuclides that are naturally present in coal used to produce electricity are concentrated in combustion products (ash, slag, wastewater, etc.). As these products are disposed of in the environment, it is necessary to regularly perform measurements to control the presence of natural radionuclides in samples from the environment near thermal power plants. This paper will present the results of testing the content of natural radionuclides in the soil sampled at several locations in the vicinity of TPP "Nikola Tesla" A and TPP "Kolubara" in the period from 2016-2020 years. The measurements were performed in the Laboratory for Radiation Protection and Environmental Protection of the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences, using the standard gamma spectrometry method after adequate sample preparation. The sampling locations were selected to cover the immediate surroundings of the thermal power plant, where the possible impact of the thermal power plant operation would be most noticeable. Also, sampling was performed at locations that are far from the thermal power plant itself, most often in populated areas, in order to ensure knowledge of the local natural level of radionuclide content in the soil. The measured concentrations of natural radionuclide activity in the soil were monitored over a number of years and a comparison was made between samples taken nearby and those taken away from the thermal power plant, as well as soil samples from other parts of Serbia and literature data. In that way, optimal monitoring of the impact of the thermal power plant operation on the environment is provided.

Radionuklidi koji su prirodno prisutni u uglju koji se koristi za proizvodnju električne energije, bivaju koncentrisani u produktima sagorevanja (pepeo, šljaka, otpadne vode itd.). Kako se ovi produkti odlažu u životnu sredinu, potrebno je redovno vršiti merenja kojima se kontroliše prisustvo prirodnih radionuklida u uzorcima iz životne okoline u blizini termoelektrana. U ovom radu će biti prikazani rezultati ispitivanja sadržaja prirodnih radionuklida u zemljištu uzorkovanom na više lokacija u okolini TE “Nikola Tesla” A i TE “Kolubara” u periodu od 2016- 2020. godine. Merenja su izvšena u Laboratoriji za zaštitu od zračenja i zaštitu životne srednine Instituta za nuklearne nauke “Vinča”, standardnom metodom gama spektrometrije nakon adekvatne pripreme uzoraka. Lokacije uzorkovanja su odabrane na osnovu Programa kontrole radioaktivnosti, tako da pokrivaju neposrednu okolinu termoelektrana, gde bi eventualni uticaj rada termoelektrane bio najuočljiviji. TakoĎe, uzorkovanje je vršeno i na lokacijama koje su udaljene od same termoelektrane, najčešće u naseljenim mestima, da bi se obezbedilo poznavanje lokalnog prirodnog nivoa sadržaja radionuklida u zemljištu. Izmerene koncentracije aktivnosti prirodnih radionuklida u zemljištu su praćene tokom niza godina i vršeno je poreĎenje izmeĎu uzoraka uzetih u blizini i onih uzetih dalje od termoelektrane, kao i sa uzorcima zemljišta iz drugih krajeva Srbije i podacima iz literature. Na taj način, obezbeĎeno je optimalno praćenje uticaja rada termoelektrane na životnu sredinu

U ovom radu će biti prikazani rezultati ispitivanja sadržaja prirodnih radionuklida u zemljištu uzorkovanom na više lokacija u okolini TE “Nikola Tesla” A i TE “Kolubara” u periodu od 2016- 2020. godine. Merenja su izvšena u Laboratoriji za zaštitu od zračenja i zaštitu životne srednine Instituta za nuklearne nauke “Vinča”, standardnom metodom gama spektrometrije nakon adekvatne pripreme uzoraka. Lokacije uzorkovanja su odabrane na osnovu Programa kontrole radioaktivnosti, tako da pokrivaju neposrednu okolinu termoelektrana, gde bi eventualni uticaj rada termoelektrane bio najuočljiviji. TakoĎe, uzorkovanje je vršeno i na lokacijama koje su udaljene od same termoelektrane, najčešće u naseljenim mestima, da bi se obezbedilo poznavanje lokalnog prirodnog nivoa sadržaja radionuklida u zemljištu. Izmerene koncentracije aktivnosti prirodnih radionuklida u zemljištu su praćene tokom niza godina i vršeno je poreĎenje izmeĎu uzoraka uzetih u blizini i onih uzetih dalje od termoelektrane, kao i sa uzorcima zemljišta iz drugih krajeva Srbije i podacima iz literature. Na taj način, obezbeĎeno je optimalno praćenje uticaja rada termoelektrane na životnu sredinu",

The aim is to compare methods: standard method (direct method): according to ASTM D 4107-08 and validated method: which applies electrolytic enrichment. Low level tritium concentration in natural waters required measurement after enrichment. One set of samples, which contain 16 samples including spike water were enrichment and compared with 4 samples measured by direct method. For this analysis liquid scintillation spectrometer was using. In general, analysis with enrichment is more applicable for samples with low activity. Also, validated method with enrichment reduced minimum detectable concentration.

AB  - Gamma spectrometry is widely used method of choice for measurement of environmental samples conducted during monitoring of the environment and contamination control, as well as measurement of radionuclide content in various materials. However, one of the main challenges in this method of spectrometry is the determination of detection efficiency for different energies, different source-detector geometries and different composition of samples. This task is defined as an efficiency calibration of the detector. When using a commercial calibration sources is not possible, or the available sources are not adequate, the optimization of the efficiency calibration has to be performed. In this paper, the results of the optimization of efficiency calibration for the atypical geometry and composition of the simulated aerosol samples, measured within the Proficiency tests organized by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), performed using EFFTRAN efficiency transfer software, will be presented and discussed.

AB  - Aerosol sampling and monitoring of naturally occurring and artificial radionuclides is readily performed within the frame of Environmental radioactivity monitoring in the Republic of Serbia. It provides information important for the preservation of the public health and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. This type of monitoring has been performed in Institute of Nuclear Sciences Vinča for more than 30 years now. The radionuclides that are measured are: naturally occurring 210Pb, artificial radionuclide 137Cs and cosmogenic radionuclide 7 Be. Particle reactive radionuclides such as 210Pb and 7 Be have been used as atmospheric tracers for studying environmental processes such as cloud scavenging and precipitation [1], aerosol transit and residence times in the troposphere [2], and aerosol deposition velocities [3]. The fission product 137Cs is an indicator of anthropogenic pollution caused by nuclear weapon atmospheric tests and nuclear power plant accidents. Seasonal variation in 137Cs in air is an indicator of the stratosphere-troposphere exchange processes [4]. In most aerosol samples in later years, the activity concentration of 137Cs is below the minimal detectable activity and therefore it was not taken into the consideration in this paper. The activity concentration of 7 Be is dependent on the movements of large air masses and vertical mixing in the atmosphere and also was not discussed in this paper. In this paper, the activity concentration of 210Pb in aerosol samples, obtained over the period from 2014. to 2020., was discussed. Sampling is performed using constant air flow pumps and Whatman filter papers on 6 measuring stations distributed in various parts of the country. Three stations are in urban areas of cities of Belgrade, Vranje and Zaječar and other three are in rural areas (Palić and Zlatibor) or removed from the urban part of the city (Meteorological station in Vinča). The monthly composite sample from each sampling station was ashed at the temperature below 400o C. After ashing, the residue aerosol is measured on HPGe detectors using a standard gamma spectroscopy method [5]. The results for 210Pb are of the order of magnitude of 10-4 to 10-3 Bq/m3 . The activity concentration in all investigated samples shows temporal dependence with the maxima in the winter months and minima observed during the spring and summer. Also, the comparison between the results obtained from the rural and urban locations was performed in order to investigate the influence of the air pollution present in the urban areas on the activity concentration of 210Pb. The values, obtained at stations located in rural parts, ranged from (0.056 – 3.3) mBq/m3 , while for stations located in urban areas the range was from (0.125 – 2.9) mBq/m3 . It can be seen that from all the data that the activity concentration of 210Pb was lower in rural areas. Two outliers were observed at Palic station, located in the plane and along the path of the prevailing south – east wind, possibly bringing aerosols from Deliblatska pescara (Deliblato Sands) [6].

AB  - U ovom radu su predstavljeni rezultati poređenja sadržaja prirodnih radionuklida u različitim uzorcima elektrofilterskog pepela, pepela sa deponija i šljake. Poređenje je izvršeno između rezultata dobijenih u redovnoj kontroli radioaktivnosti u radnoj i životnoj okolini TE „Kostolac“, TE „Kolubara“i TE „Nikola Tesla A“, koje sprovodi Laboratorija za zaštitu od zračenja i zaštitu životne okoline, Instituta za nuklearne nauke “Vinča“. Na osnovu merenja koncentracije prirodnih radionuklida u uzorcima elektrofilterskog pepela, pepela sa deponija i šljake, kao i na osnovu određenog odnosa između dobijenih vrednosti u uzorcima iz različitih termoelektrana, možemo da zaključimo da je ovaj otpadni materijal iz TE “Kostolac” izuzetno povoljan kao sirovina koja bi se koristila za proizvodnju građevinskog materijala i da daje približno dvostruko manji uticaj na gama indeks konačnog proizvoda u odnosu na otpadni material iz drugih termoelektrana.
AB  - This paper presents the results of the comparison between the naturally occurring radionuclide content in different samples of fly ash, ash and slag. The comparison was conducted between the results obtained within the regular control of radioactivity in working and living environment of TE „Kostolac“, TE „Kolubara“ and TE „Nikola Tesla A“, which is performed by the Radiation and Environmental Protection Department of „Vinča“ Institute of Nuclear Sciences. Based on the activity concentration measurement in samples of fly ash, ash from the ash disposal dumps and slag, as well as based on the calclulated ratio between the values obtained for different coal fired powerplants, it can be concluded that this waste material from TE “Kostolac” is promising material as an additive in building material production and that it gives approximately twice as low contribution to the gamma index as those obtained from other two powerplants.

AB  - Istraživanja obuhvaćena ovom studijom predstavljaju prikaz efekata svojstava tla različitih poljoprivrednih koncepata na migraciju antropogenih radionuklida, 90Sr i 137Cs. Za potrebe ovog rada, izvršeno je uzorkovanje obradivog zemljišta na dve dubine na teritoriji grada Beograda tokom 2014. godine. U uzorcima zemljišta su određene fizičko−hemijske osobine i specifične aktivnosti ispitanih radionuklida. Radiohemijska analitička metoda je primenjena za određivanje sadržaja 90Sr, dok je specifična aktivnost 137Cs određena primenom gamaspektrometrijske metode. Ispitivanje efekata svojstava analiziranih uzoraka obradivog zemljišta na migraciju 90Sr i 137Cs, izvršeno je statističkim metodama analize. Primenom linearne korelacione analize utvrđeni su dominantni fizičko−hemijski parametri koji utiču na migraciju 90Sr i 137Cs u poljoprivrednom zemljištu.
AB  - The research included by this study presents the effects of soil properties of different agricultural concepts to the migration of anthropogenic radionuclides, 90Sr and 137Cs. For the purposes of this paper, sampling of agricultural soil at two depths on the territory of the city of Belgrade during 2014 was performed. The physico−chemical properties of investigated soil, as well as the specific activities of the mentioned radionuclides were determined. The radiochemical analytical method was used to determine the 90Sr content, while the specific activity of 137Cs was determined using the gamma spectrometric method. Examination of the effects of soil properties on the migration of anthropogenic radionuclides 90Sr and 137Cs, based on the analyzed soil samples, was performed by statistical methods of analysis. By applying linear correlation analysis, the dominant physico−chemical parameters that affect the migration of 90Sr and 137Cs in agricultural soil were determined.

abstract = "Istraživanja obuhvaćena ovom studijom predstavljaju prikaz efekata svojstava tla različitih poljoprivrednih koncepata na migraciju antropogenih radionuklida, 90Sr i 137Cs. Za potrebe ovog rada, izvršeno je uzorkovanje obradivog zemljišta na dve dubine na teritoriji grada Beograda tokom 2014. godine. U uzorcima zemljišta su određene fizičko−hemijske osobine i specifične aktivnosti ispitanih radionuklida. Radiohemijska analitička metoda je primenjena za određivanje sadržaja 90Sr, dok je specifična aktivnost 137Cs određena primenom gamaspektrometrijske metode. Ispitivanje efekata svojstava analiziranih uzoraka obradivog zemljišta na migraciju 90Sr i 137Cs, izvršeno je statističkim metodama analize. Primenom linearne korelacione analize utvrđeni su dominantni fizičko−hemijski parametri koji utiču na migraciju 90Sr i 137Cs u poljoprivrednom zemljištu., The research included by this study presents the effects of soil properties of different agricultural concepts to the migration of anthropogenic radionuclides, 90Sr and 137Cs. For the purposes of this paper, sampling of agricultural soil at two depths on the territory of the city of Belgrade during 2014 was performed. The physico−chemical properties of investigated soil, as well as the specific activities of the mentioned radionuclides were determined. The radiochemical analytical method was used to determine the 90Sr content, while the specific activity of 137Cs was determined using the gamma spectrometric method. Examination of the effects of soil properties on the migration of anthropogenic radionuclides 90Sr and 137Cs, based on the analyzed soil samples, was performed by statistical methods of analysis. By applying linear correlation analysis, the dominant physico−chemical parameters that affect the migration of 90Sr and 137Cs in agricultural soil were determined.",

AB  - Rezultati merenja radioaktivnosti zemljišta, mulja i vode u procesu iskopavanja bunara do maksimalne dubine od 13,5 m u selu Poganovu, u opštini Dimitrovgrad, prikazani su u ovom radu. Uzorci mulja i zemljišta, analizirani su spektrometrijom gama emitera i određivanjem sadržaja 90Sr. U slučaju uzorka vode, određena je ukupna alfa i ukupna beta aktivnost, i koncentracija radionuklida gama emitera. Pored navedenih uzoraka, sa iste lokacije su mereni i uzorci mahovina i lišajeva. Osim u uzorku mahovine i zemljišta sa dubine 0-10 cm u kojima je detektovano prisustvo 137Cs u veoma niskim koncentracijama za ovu vrstu uzoraka, ni u jednom uzorku nije detektovano prisustvo proizvedenih radionuklida, 137Cs i 90Sr. U slučaju prirodnih radionuklida, dobijene vrednosti koncentracija, karakteristične su za ovakve vrste uzoraka i ne razlikuju se u odnosu na druge lokacije na našim prostorima. Svi rezultati merenja ukazuju na to da se ova lokacija može koristiti kao nulta tačka monitoringa radioaktivnosti na našim prostorima.
AB  - The results of radioactivity measurements in the soil, sludge and water samples in the process of finding water and digging wells to a maximum depth of 13.5 m, in the village of Poganovo, in the municipality of Dimitrovgrad, are presented in this paper. Sludge and soil samples were analyzed by gamma-ray spectrometry and 90Sr measurements. In the case of water samples, gross alpha and gross beta activity, as well as content of radionuclides gamma emitter were determined. In addition, samples of mosses and lichens from the same location were also measured. Presence of the artificial radionuclides 90Sr and 137Cs were not detected in measured samples, with an exception of the sample of moss and soil from a depth of 0-10 cm, where 137Cs was detected in very low concentrations for this type of samples. In the case of natural radionuclides, the obtained values of concentrations are characteristic of these types of samples and do not differ from other locations in our area. All measurement results indicate that this location can be used as a zero point for monitoring radioactivity in our area.

AB  - Prema važećoj zakonskoj regulativi u Republici Srbiji kontrola radiološke ispravnosti otpadnih materijala vrši se na graničnim prelazima, kao i kada postoji namera odlaganja u životnu sredinu. Sadržaj radionuklida u otpadnim materijalima u najvećem broju slučajeva odredjuje se gamaspektrometrijskim ispitivanjem. Ova merenja podrazumevaju adekvatnu pripremu uzorka u cilju postizanja željene geometrije merenja za koju je izvršena kalibracija efikasnosti gama spektrometra. U postupku pripreme uzorka otpadnog materijala često nije moguće postići zadovoljavajuću homogenost. Takodje, matriks merenog materijala u većini slučajeva ne odgovara matriksu standarda pomoću kojeg je izvršena kalibracija spektrometra. Iz ovih razloga je potrebno izvršiti odredjene korekcije rezultata merenja (transfer efikasnosti, na pr.), kao i proširenje budžeta merne nesigurnosti. U radu je detaljno prikazan postupak procene doprinosa nehomogenosti uzorka mernoj nesigurnosti, kao i doprinosa koji u budžet merne nesigurnosti unosi transfer efikasnosti i primena korekcionih faktora za koincidentno sumiranje.
AB  - According to the current legislation in the Republic of Serbia, the radiological control of waste materials is performed at border crossings, as well as when there is an intention to dispose these materials in the environment. The gamma ray spectrometry is commonly used for determination of radionuclide content in waste materials. These measurements imply adequate sample preparation in order to achieve the desired measurement geometry for which the efficiency of the gamma spectrometer has been calibrated. Satisfactory homogeneity is often not possible to achieve in the sample preparation process. Also, the matrix of the measured material in most cases does not correspond to the matrix of the standard used for efficiency calibration of the spectrometer. For these reasons, it is necessary to make certain corrections to the measurement results (efficiency transfer, for example), as well as to expand the measurement uncertainty budget. The paper presents in detail the procedure for assessing the contribution of inhomogeneity of the sample to the measurement uncertainty, as well as the contribution that the efficiency transfer and coincidence summing corrections introduce to the measurement uncertainty budget.

abstract = "Prema važećoj zakonskoj regulativi u Republici Srbiji kontrola radiološke ispravnosti otpadnih materijala vrši se na graničnim prelazima, kao i kada postoji namera odlaganja u životnu sredinu. Sadržaj radionuklida u otpadnim materijalima u najvećem broju slučajeva odredjuje se gamaspektrometrijskim ispitivanjem. Ova merenja podrazumevaju adekvatnu pripremu uzorka u cilju postizanja željene geometrije merenja za koju je izvršena kalibracija efikasnosti gama spektrometra. U postupku pripreme uzorka otpadnog materijala često nije moguće postići zadovoljavajuću homogenost. Takodje, matriks merenog materijala u većini slučajeva ne odgovara matriksu standarda pomoću kojeg je izvršena kalibracija spektrometra. Iz ovih razloga je potrebno izvršiti odredjene korekcije rezultata merenja (transfer efikasnosti, na pr.), kao i proširenje budžeta merne nesigurnosti. U radu je detaljno prikazan postupak procene doprinosa nehomogenosti uzorka mernoj nesigurnosti, kao i doprinosa koji u budžet merne nesigurnosti unosi transfer efikasnosti i primena korekcionih faktora za koincidentno sumiranje., According to the current legislation in the Republic of Serbia, the radiological control of waste materials is performed at border crossings, as well as when there is an intention to dispose these materials in the environment. The gamma ray spectrometry is commonly used for determination of radionuclide content in waste materials. These measurements imply adequate sample preparation in order to achieve the desired measurement geometry for which the efficiency of the gamma spectrometer has been calibrated. Satisfactory homogeneity is often not possible to achieve in the sample preparation process. Also, the matrix of the measured material in most cases does not correspond to the matrix of the standard used for efficiency calibration of the spectrometer. For these reasons, it is necessary to make certain corrections to the measurement results (efficiency transfer, for example), as well as to expand the measurement uncertainty budget. The paper presents in detail the procedure for assessing the contribution of inhomogeneity of the sample to the measurement uncertainty, as well as the contribution that the efficiency transfer and coincidence summing corrections introduce to the measurement uncertainty budget.",

AB  - Based on the Article 15 of the Roolebook on the limits of the radionuclide content in drinking water, foodstuffs, feedstuffs, medicines, objects of general use, building materials and other goods that are put on market (Official Gazette RS. 36/18), to ensure that the exposure of the general population, originating from the building material do not exceed 1 mSv per year, the calculation of the gamma index I is required. This index is obtained by dividing measured activity concentrations of naturally occurring radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th and 40K with the appropriate derived concentrations. The sum of these quotents should not exceed 1. Taking into account that the activity concentrations are defined with the appropriate measurement uncertainty, gamma index I should also be stated with its appropriate measurement uncertainty. In this paper, the measurement uncertaitny of the gamma index I will be defined and the decission rule for compliance of thus obtained gamma index with the Rulebook 36/18 discussed.

AB  - Radon is the radioactive gas originating from the decay chain, mainly uranium and thorium series. The main source of population exposure to ionizing radiation (more than 80 %) is the natural radioactivity. Radon and its short lived progeny contribute with more than 50 % to the radiation dose received by the general population from all sources, and the World Health Organization has recognized radon as the second most important cause of lung cancer. The European Council has laid down a basic safety standards (BSS, Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom) for the protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation, obliging member states, among other, to investigate the exposure of members of the public and workers to indoor radon, to develop a radon action plan and to inform the public about radon levels they are exposed to. As a consequence, this has led to increased number of indoor radon measurements in recent years. There are numerous methods for indoor radon measurement which can be performed either by direct measurement of radon or indirectly by measuring radon progeny, with or without radon presence. The choice of method used depends on the purpose of the measurements, available instrumentation and time. In order to assess the reliability of indoor radon measurement methods available in “Vinca” Institute of Nuclear Sciences, comparative measurement were conducted. Indoor radon concentration was measured in four working rooms in Vinca Institute, two offices and two laboratory premises, in the period of October-November 2020. In all locations continuous radon measurements were performed with tree different active measurement devices: RTM1688-2 and Radon Scout from SARAD GmbH, and RadonEye from RadonFTLAB, while integrated radon measurements were conducted with charcoal canisters. In addition, Equilibrium Equivalent Radon Concentration EERC was measured with radon progeny monitor RPM2200 (SARAD GmbH). Measurement by all active devices was performed simultaneously and lasted around 4 days with 1 hour sampling time, while measuring time for charcoal canisters was 2 days. In one office and one laboratory measurements were repeated and six sets of results were obtained. Very good agreement between results obtained by active devices was observed, with correlation ranging from 0.72 - 0.98. A certain discrepancy was observed between averaged radon concentration from active devices and results from charcoal canisters only in one office.

AB  - In the aftermath of a nuclear or radiological accident, an extended mapping of reliable dose rate values is of key importance for any governmental decision and countermeasures. Presently, numerous dosimetry network stations, operated by the national governments of the member states in Europe, provide such dose rate data on an hourly basis. Nevertheless, there are large areas in Europe that are not covered at all by these early warning networks and other areas that show only a low density of governmental network stations. Hence, there may be a significant lack of information in case of a nuclear or radiological emergency. As a consequence of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accidents in 2011, a number of non-governmental radiation monitoring networks (NRMN) appeared on the internet, providing dose rate data based on stationary as well as on mobile measurements of ionizing radiation by laypersons. Especially the mobile detectors are able to cover large areas in short time. Therefore, it is of considerable importance to investigate the feasibility of using dose rate data from non-governmental networks as a complementary input to the European Radiological Data Exchange Platform (EURDEP). Within the European Metrology Program for Innovation and Research (EMPIR), the project 16ENV04 “Preparedness” has studied the metrological relevance of such non-governmental dose rate data (also called crowd-sourced radiological monitoring) in the most comprehensive way so far. Sixteen different dose rate detector systems (in general 4 of each type, plus 2 types with 2 detectors, i.e. 68 detectors in total) used in NRMN have been investigated for the reliability of their data and the corresponding networks, and their data provision to the public were analyzed. The most relevant performance parameters of dosimetry systems (detector's inherent background, energy dependence and linearity of the response as well as the response to secondary cosmic radiation, the sensitivity to small increases of the dose rate and finally the stability of the detector's indication at various climatic conditions - temperature and humidity) have been investigated for fourteen representative types of non-governmental dose rate measuring instruments. Results of this comprehensive performance study of the simple, light-weighted and cheap dose rate meters used in NRMN, and conclusions on the feasibility of using their data for governmental monitoring in case of a nuclear or radiological emergency are presented. © 2021 The Authors
