Description

This dataset includes raw spectra obtained from a Labr3(Ce) detector for background, RG reference materials, and various coal, fly ash, and bottom ash spectra. It also provides data necessary to correct for self-attenuation. This dataset is intended to be used to develop methods to analyze low-level NORM samples for uranium, thorium, potassium, and decay progeny.
