Abstract
A self-contained deep-water gamma-ray spectrometer on the basis of a high-p urity germanium detector is designed for the radionuclide monitoring of rad ioactive waste burial regions and wreck sites of nuclear-powered ships and submarines. Technical data of the spectrometer are considered, and the resu lts of measurements of its sensitivity for detection of typical natural and man-made nuclides in seawater are presented.
