Abstract
An PK-A Gamma alpha-gamma-radiometer based on a GSO scintillator is de scribed. A new method of signal processing is used for monitoring tran suranium radionuclides. Specific activity of Am-241 is measured in 50- cm(3) samples in the range of 2-10 000 Bq/kg, and surface activity of transuranium radionuclides is measured in flat samples in the range of 1-10 000 Bq/specimen for the ratio of Cs-137/Am-241 activities up to similar to 10(3). The relative measurement error is within 20%.
