A lower limit of detection of 0.04 Bq L-1 for measuring 131I in milk or water with a gamma-ray spectrometer was achieved with a large 118% intrinsic germanium detector. Three-liter samples with 131I tracer in a reentrant beaker were counted within a lead shield for 12,000 to 55,000 s to demonstrate detection at this concentration. Samples of milk collected at dairies and counted for 28,000 s showed no 131I at this level (as expected), but 137Cs from fallout was detected in some samples near its detection limit of 0.03 Bq L-1.
使用大型本征锗探测器,在牛奶或水中测量¹³¹I时,伽马射线光谱仪的检测下限达到了0.04 Bq L⁻¹。将含有¹³¹I示踪剂的3升样品置于重入式烧杯中,在铅屏蔽内计数12,000至55,000秒,以证明在此浓度下可检测到¹³¹I。在乳品厂采集的牛奶样品计数28,000秒,结果显示在此水平下未检测到¹³¹I(正如预期),但在一些样品中检测到了沉降物中的¹³⁷Cs,其检测限接近0.03 Bq L⁻¹。
