National Physical Laboratory awarded a contract to Ametek (GB) Ltd for the supply of an environmental level gamma spectrometer system, valued at AUD 49,900.

The system will join a suite of detectors in the Nuclear Metrology Group to deliver radioactive standards to the UK and international community, supporting purity measurements to differentiate radionuclide contents, standardisation of radioactivity for materials not determinable by other means (typically non-destructive testing), and broader measurement services including examination of nuclear decay data and development of gamma-emitting reference materials in matrices such as concrete for the nuclear power and environmental radioactivity sectors.
