Abstract:
Whole-body measurement can provide fast and accurate results in radiation emergencies. The whole-body counting method needs to be validated to guarantee the reliability and accuracy of the measurement. This study provides data related to the validation of the whole-body measurement using the stand-up type whole-body counter. Several parameters, including the sensitivity, accuracy, uncertainty, were considered for validation. The results indicate that the method of whole-body measurement is reliable for assessment of internal contamination.
