Abstract
Historical radioanalytical data from the Institute of Radiation Protec
tion and Dosimetry (IRD) national intercomparison program from 1991 to
1995 were analyzed to evaluate the performance of sixteen Brazilian l
aboratories in radionuclide analyses in environmental samples. Data ar
e comprised of measurements of radionuclides in 435 spiked environment
al samples distributed in fifteen intercomparison runs comprised of 95
5 analyses. The general and specific radionuclide performances of the
participating laboratories were evaluated relative to the reference va
lue. Data analysis encourages improvements in beta emitter measurement
