Abstract
An integrated spectrometric scintillation detection unit, based on gad olinium silicate single crystals, is described which is characterized by high selective sensitivity with respect to gamma-radiation from Ame ricium-241. The device allows small amounts of this radionuclide to be distinguished against the gamma-emission background from other radion uclides.
