Abstract

A procedure for the direct γ-ray instrumental analysis of 210Pb in sediment samples is presented. The problem of dependence of self-absorption on sample composition is solved by making a direct transmission measurement on each sample. The procedure has been verified by intercalibrations and other tests.
