ACTUAL PROBLEMS OR «NATIONAL PECULIARITIES» OF RADIATION MONITORING (OF DRINKING WATER)
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Relevant metrological problems of monitoring radiation in water, as well as other types of radiation measurements, are mainly related to insufficient status of measures of specific activity (standard solutions of radionuclides) and limited calibration capabilities in laboratories and standardization organizations in different regions of Russia. If there are no certified reference materials and measurement standards adequate for a measurement task, then metrological traceability of measurements can be carried out according to calibration procedures regulated by measuring methods using calibration standards prepared as certified mixtures from calibrated solutions of radionuclides, as well as pure uranium and potassium compounds. Regular interlaboratory comparisons with control samples having reference quantity values of the measured parameters allow laboratories to confirm their technical competence and the metrological traceability of measurement results.

Keywords:
radiation monitoring of drinking water, specific total activity, standard radionuclide solutions, interlaboratory comparisons, metrological traceability
