  • Title: The assessment of plutonium and americium in contaminated wounds with high energy resolution semiconductor detectors.
    Author: Genicot JL, Hardeman F, Oberstedt S.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 1995 Mar; 46(3):199-203. PubMed ID: 7728135.
    Abstract:
    A simple to use method was installed for the measurement of wounds contaminated with plutonium and americium by using a semiconductor detector. This technique does not explicitly require the knowledge of the detector efficiency but uses a plant 241Am calibration source. A computer programme has also been developed for the quantification of the contamination according to the shape and the depth of the contaminant in the wound.
