Abstract:
The determination of characteristic limits in the measurement of radioactive materials is an important aspect of low-level measurements and the underlying principles are well understood by scientists working on such measurements. ISO 11929:2010 provides a rigorous basis for the systematic calculation of detection limits, but may be difficult to interpret for the routine user. This paper attempts to simplify some of the more arcane aspects of this standard.
