Abstract
The results of efficiency calibration and verification of the in situ method with application of a handheld spectrometer with high-purity germanium detector are presented. The conducted studies show that the calibration of spectrometer efficiency with the use of the Monte Carlo method can be applied for measurement of the surface activity of radionuclides deposited on the ground with an uncertainty of not more than 22%.
