Opportunities for Decay Counting of Environmental Radioisotopes Using Ultra-low-background Detection Systems

Abstract

Executive Summary We present results from a scoping study whose intent was to define challenge measurements to be pursued on the Ultra-Sensitive Nuclear Measurements Initiative. Potential challenge measurements using new radiation detection technology in the shallow underground laboratory that would have substantial impact in environmental science were the focus of this study.
