Production and characterization of a traceable NORM material and its use in proficiency testing of gamma-ray spectrometry laboratories

This paper outlines the process of characterizing a new NORM material for proficiency testing made of quartz sand with significantly elevated levels of 226Ra obtained from the backflush of a drinking water treatment facility. Samples of the fully characterized NORM material were sent to European lab...
