ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOACTIVITY SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS AT UKAEA CULHAM

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) require a service provider to carry out routine sampling and analysis of air, soil, rain water, river water and groundwater for levels of Tritium and/or beta and gamma radioactivity. Normal operations of the UKAEA facilities involve very small discharges of radioactivity to the environment; consequently, the analysis must be able to detect and quantify very low levels of activity in samples.
