AB  - Određivanje prisustva neutrona tokom niskofonskih gama spektrometrijskih merenja je
od posebne važnosti. Zbog toga je u ovom radu analiziran način određivanja
energetskog spektra neutrona prisutnog u merenjima sa HPGe detektorima. Ovaj metod
se zasniva na korišćenju metoda dekonvolucije. Za to je neophodno poznavati gama
aktivnost indukovanu neutronskim reakcijama sa različitim izotopima germanijuma kao
i efikasne preseke za date neutronske reakcije. Ovaj pristup je testiran merenjima sa
fisionim izvorom neutrona 252Cf koji je bio postavljen u blizini HPGe detektora.
Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da ovaj metod moze pružiti pouzdane podatke o obliku
energetskog spektra neutrona tokom gama spektrometrijskih merenja.
AB  - Determination of neutron spectra in the Ge-detector during low-level gamma
spectroscopy measurements is of great importance. Thus, in this paper we analyzed the
method for the determination of neutron energy spectra present during measurements
with HPGe detectors. This method is based on using the deconvolution procedure. It
requires the knowledge of neutron induced gamma activities of Ge isotopes and the
cross section data for the neutron reactions of interest. This approach was tested with
measurements that used the fission neutron source 252Cf placed in proximity of the
HPGe detector. Results show that this method can provide reliable data about the shape
of neutron energy spectrum during gamma spectroscopy measurements.

AB  - A method of direct measurement of 14C activity concentration via liquid scintillation
counting (LSC) is recognized as good and fast method for determination of biogenic
component in liquid fuels. Two laboratories that used this14C technique participated in
this survey: Laboratory from University of Novi Sad (UNS), Serbia and Laboratory
from Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI), Croatia. Each laboratory used its own calibration
methods on the same set of samples (produced diesel-based bio-fuels and commercially
available domestic oils).
From the obtained results it can be concluded that each method which uses 14C
technique for determination of biogenic component in liquid fuels has its advantages
and disadvantages. RBI data evaluation method is based on two calibration curves, for
purely biogenic and purely fossil liquids, and the calibration does not depend on the
exact chemical composition of the organic liquid. The limits of the method are defined
by the SQP(E) of approximately 690. Below this value the count rates of biogenic and
fossil liquids become close to each other or even indistinguishable from one another
and the obtained results for biogenic fractions are not reliable. In this intercomparison
UNS used two different methods, one for produced bio-diesels and the other one for
domestic oils. UNS data evaluation method is very dependent on the composition of the
examined fuels, so the obtained results with the "two-step" method were relatively good
in the case of diesel mixtures with biogenic component. In the case of biogenic oil
samples (bought on market), UNS "two-step" method did not give realistic results, and
with the "one-step" method the limitation is large quenching in the samples, so for the
samples with SQP(E) less than 700 this method could not give expected results. Samples
prepared with liquid fuels are usually colored and the main challenge for determination
of biogenic component in both laboratories is handling of highly quenched liquids.
AB  - Prema preporukama Evropske Unije sa ciljem da se koriste obnovljivi i održivi izvori,
do 2020. godine zahteva se da se u svim tečnim gorivima koja se koriste nalazi bar 10%
sintetisanog biodizela. Da bi se koncentracija biodizela mogla proveriti, nekoliko
laboratorija u svetu je razvilo metode za tačnu, efikasnu i pouzdanu kvantifikaciju
sadržaja biogene komponente. Direktno merenje koncentracije aktivnosti 14C tečnim
scintilacionim detektorom (LSC), koje podrazumeva određivanje količine 14C u uzorku
kao meru prisutnosti biogene komponente u testiranom gorivu, pokazalo se kao dobra i
brza metoda. U ovoj interkomparaciji učestvovale su dve laboratorije: Laboratorija sa
Univerziteta u Novom Sadu (UNS), Srbija i Laboratorija sa Instituta Ruđer Bošković
(RBI), Hrvatska. Svaka laboratorija je koristila sopstveni kalibracioni metod i isti set
uzoraka za interkomparaciju (proizvedena bio-goriva bazirana na dizelu i komercijalno
dostupna domaća ulja).
Iz dobijenih rezultata može se zaključiti da svaki od prikazanih metoda ima svoje
prednosti i mane, što zavisi od samog sastava uzorka. RBI metod se zasniva na upotrebi
dve kalibracione krive, za čisto biogena i čisto fosilna goriva, i kalibracija nije zavisna
od hemijskog sastava analiziranog uzorka. Ograničenje ove metode je SQP(E) vrednost
niža od 690. Ispod ove vrednosti odbroji biogene i fosilne komponente postaju veoma
bliski jedan drugom i samim tim rezultati koji se dobijaju nisu pouzdani. U ovoj
interkomparaciji, UNS je koristila dve različite metode kalibracije, jednu za
proizvedene bio-dizele, a drugu za domaća ulja. UNS metod evaluacije izmerenih
podataka u mnogome zavisi od sastava ispitivanog goriva, pa su rezultati dobijeni sa
"two-step" metodom relativno dobri za smeše dizela sa biogenom komponentom. U
slučaju biogenih ulja, UNS "two-step" metod nije dao realistične rezultate, zbog toga je
korišćen "one-step" metoda za koji je utvrđeno ograničenje za SQP(E) parametar na
700.
Uzorci koji se pripremaju sa tečnim gorivima su najčešće obojeni i najveći problem koji
se javlja je korekcija na prigušenje u samom uzorku, koja mora biti detaljno sprovedena
kako bi se dobio pouzdan rezultat, pa najveći izazov daljnjeg razvoja ovih metoda
postaje postupak merenja biogene komponente u jako prigušenim uzorcima.

AB  - Mioni predstavljaju glavnu komponentu kosmičkog zračenja na nivou mora, zbog čega
su značajan izvor fonske aktivnosti u gama spektrometrijskim merenjima. Fonsku
aktivnost mioni mogu produkovati interakcijama sa detektorom i okolnim materijalima.
Tom prilikom nastali neutroni daju takođe značajan doprinos vrednosti fonske gama
aktivnosti. U ovom radu su predstavljeni rezultati merenja korišćenjem HPGe detektora
sa gvozdenom i olovnom pasivnom zaštitom u dva okruženja, kada je iznad detektora
bila prisutna različita debljina pokrovnog betonskog sloja. Monitoring prisustva miona
je vršen korišćenjem plastičnog scintilacionog detektora. Određene su vrednosti
inteziteta gama pikova koji se javljaju usled neutronskih reakcija i upoređeni su sa
promenom prisustva miona u okruženju detektora. Dobijeni rezultati mogu poslužiti za
unapređenje projektovanja zaštita prilikom niskofonskih gama spektrometrijskih
merenja.
AB  - Muons are one of the main components of cosmic radiation on the sea level and there
are significant source background activities during gamma spectroscopic measurements. Background activity can be produced by muon interactions with detector and
surrounding materials. On this way created neutrons also have high influence on
detection of background events. In this work there are presented the results of
measurements by use of HPGe detectors with iron and lead shields. The detectors were
located in two different environments where the different thicknesses of covering
concrete layer were present. The monitoring of muons presence was done by
measurements with plastic scintillation detector. The levels of neutron induced gamma
activates were determinated and compared with changing of muon flux in detectors
environment. The results can be used for improving of new detector shield in gamma
spectrometry measurements.

abstract = "Mioni predstavljaju glavnu komponentu kosmičkog zračenja na nivou mora, zbog čega
su značajan izvor fonske aktivnosti u gama spektrometrijskim merenjima. Fonsku
aktivnost mioni mogu produkovati interakcijama sa detektorom i okolnim materijalima.
Tom prilikom nastali neutroni daju takođe značajan doprinos vrednosti fonske gama
aktivnosti. U ovom radu su predstavljeni rezultati merenja korišćenjem HPGe detektora
sa gvozdenom i olovnom pasivnom zaštitom u dva okruženja, kada je iznad detektora
bila prisutna različita debljina pokrovnog betonskog sloja. Monitoring prisustva miona
je vršen korišćenjem plastičnog scintilacionog detektora. Određene su vrednosti
inteziteta gama pikova koji se javljaju usled neutronskih reakcija i upoređeni su sa
promenom prisustva miona u okruženju detektora. Dobijeni rezultati mogu poslužiti za
unapređenje projektovanja zaštita prilikom niskofonskih gama spektrometrijskih
merenja., Muons are one of the main components of cosmic radiation on the sea level and there
are significant source background activities during gamma spectroscopic measurements. Background activity can be produced by muon interactions with detector and
surrounding materials. On this way created neutrons also have high influence on
detection of background events. In this work there are presented the results of
measurements by use of HPGe detectors with iron and lead shields. The detectors were
located in two different environments where the different thicknesses of covering
concrete layer were present. The monitoring of muons presence was done by
measurements with plastic scintillation detector. The levels of neutron induced gamma
activates were determinated and compared with changing of muon flux in detectors
environment. The results can be used for improving of new detector shield in gamma
spectrometry measurements.",

AB  - The measurement of 226Ra in natural water samples is important because it is one of the
most hazardous elements with respect to internal radiation exposure. Therefore, in the
monitoring studies it is desirable to have a precise and accurate technique for the
determination of the activity concentration of this radionuclide.
This paper presents a comparison of different techniques and methods for 226
Ra in
water samples spiked with different concentrations of 226Ra isotope: LSC (Liquid
Scintillation Counting), alpha and gamma spectrometry. An overview of the advantages
and disadvantages of each techniques are presented. 226Ra in water samples were
determined by gamma spectrometry using direct method (untreated water samples) and
by RAD7 solid state detector. For 226Ra determination by LSC two different methods
were tested: ASTM D 7283-06 Standard test method for alpha and beta activity in water
by liquid scintillation and EPA Method 913.0 for radon determination in drinking
water.

AB  - Monitoring of environmental samples, drinking and surface waters, is continuously
carried out, demanding development of methods that are both reliable and accurate on
one side, but as simple and fast as possible, on the other. Screening tests such as gross
alpha/beta activity measurements in water samples are one liquid scintillation counting
(LSC) technique widely used as an efficient tool for radiological assesment and
estimation whether water sample needs further analysis or not. In this paper,
establishment of rapid gross alpha/beta screening technique in waters has been
presented, which assumes modification of conventional ASTM D 7283-06 method, since
samples were directly mixed with liquid scintillation cocktail, without any sample
pretreatment. Method’s optimization involved sample-to-cocktail ratio determination
based on the achieved detection limit and sample’s quench level. Optimal value of Pulse
Shape Analysis (PSA) discriminator that considerably improves performance of LSC
technique through alpha/beta spectra separation during radiological quality
measurements of drinking waters has also been investigated. Results of calibration
experiments and method’s validity measurements on spiked samples with 241Am and
90Sr/90Y aqueous standards are presented. Achieved detection limits for 300 minutes
of counting are MDAα=0.294(11) Bq l-1 and MDAβ=0.405(5) Bq l-1, in alpha and beta
window, respectively. Direct alpha/beta method provides deviations up to 40% from
reference values, but it offers advantages over conventional alpha/beta measurements,
it is ultra fast, simple and inexpensive test for efficient screening of water samples.
AB  - Rutinski monitoring pijaćih i površinskih voda sprovodi se kontinuirano i nameće
potrebu za razvojem metoda koje su, s jedne strane, pouzdane i tačne, ali istovremeno,

uzorcima voda, jedna su od često primenjenih tehnika tečne scintilacione
spektroskopije, kojima se efikasno može utvrditi da li uzorak zahteva dalju radiološku
analizu ili ne. U radu je predstavljena optimizacija brze direktne metode za ispitivanje
ukupne alfa/beta aktivnosti u vodama, uz prikaz i diskusiju postignutih granica
detekcije. Ova metoda je modifikacija standardne test metode ASTM D 7283-06 za
ispitivanje ukupne alfa i beta aktivnosti i podrazumeva direktno mešanje uzorka vode sa
scintilacionim koktelom. Na taj način, uzorak je spreman za merenje bez prethodne
pripreme koja, prema standardnim metodama, obično podrazumeva duge procedure
poput uparavanja do suvog ostatka. Optimizacija metode sastoji se u određivanju
optimalnog odnosa uzorak: scintilacioni koktel na osnovu granica detekcije (MDA) u
alfa i beta kanalima, kao i nivoa prigušenja u uzorcima, uzimajući u obzir i maksimalni
kapacitet određenog koktela. Podešena je vrednost PSA (Pulse Shape Analysis)
diskriminatora u cilju optimalne separacije alfa i beta spektara i redukcije pozadinskih
efekata. Kalibracija i validacija metode je izvršena standardnim referentnim materijalima, rastvorima 241Am i 90Sr/90Y. Utvrđeno je da za 300 minuta merenja tečnim
scintilacionim brojačem, mogu se izmeriti koncentracije aktivnosti koje premašuju
vrednosti MDAα=0,294(11) Bq l-1 i MDAβ=0,405(5) Bq l-1 u alfa i beta kanalima,
respektivno. Rezultati validacije metode pokazuju da maksimalna relativna odstupanja
mogu iznositi do 40%, što je prihvatljivo, uzimajući u obzir da metod nije predviđen za
precizno merenje koncentracija aktivnosti pojedinih radionuklida, već za celokupnu
procenu radiološke bezbednosti uzoraka voda.

AB  - Radon 222Rn is formed as a product of decomposition of 226Ra, it is radioactive isotope
that is soluble in water and represents one of the most common natural sources of
radiation. Monitoring of 222Rn in drinking water is important to continuously implement
due to hydrogeological studies and also radiological risk assessment. There are
different methods of measuring radon in water. Alpha spectrometric methods are the
most commonly used, especially RAD7 as a portable alpha spectrometer that allows on
field measurements. Liquid scintillation spectrometry (LSC) is often preferred as a
technique of measuring 222Rn in water samples. The method itself is carried out by
mixing water samples with an organic scintillation cocktail. The cocktail causes the
radon diffusion from the aqueous solution to the organic phase because radon has a
higher affinity for the organic phase, thus preventing the emission of radon from the
water. In addition to the before mentioned methods, a gamma spectrometric method
that uses the secular radioactive equilibrium of radon and its daughter products gave us
satisfactory results. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of four different
methods of measuring radon in water will be shown: two LSC methods (monophase and
two-phase), RAD7 and gamma spectrometric method. All three methods have very low
minimal detectable activity (MDA) values, lower than 1 Bq l-1. In addition to the
different measurement techniques, a comparison of two methods for sampling of water
will be presented also on few examples.

AB  - The main aim of this paper was to compare different methods of preparing water samples for tritium analysis by ultra-low-level background liquid scintillation counter, Quantulus 1220. Three methods of sample preparation for low-level tritium measurement have been implemented in the Nuclear Physics Laboratory in Novi Sad: electrolytic enrichment, direct method without electrolytic enrichment and sample Oxidizer 307 method. The examined fresh water samples were rainfall collected during 6 months and water from a stream in the Vinca nuclear research center collected over 3 months. The obtained results using these three methods showed satisfying agreement. The appropriate measuring time by LSC for each sample prepared according to different methods has been determined.

AB  - Gross alpha and beta activities, H-3, Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 activities were measured in bottled mineral water produced in Serbia in order to assess its radiological quality. In 11 samples of tap water and in 1 sample of spring waters gross alpha and beta activity were determined. The natural activity concentration of alpha and beta emitting radionuclides are within the range recommended by World Health Organization. The tritium concentration in bottled mineral waters ranged from 0.023 +/- 0.012 to 0.046 +/- 0.006 Bq l(-1). The activity of Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 were below the minimum detectable activity. In order to evaluate the annual effective dose for different classes of age, a conservative dosimetric calculation was carried out. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
