Reference-Sheet (pdf-format)

The IAEA-375 material (top soil to a depth of 20 cm) was obtained from the “Staryi Viskov” collective farm in Novozybkov, Brjansk, Russia in July 1990. The material was air dried and milled to give a grain size less than 0.3 mm by the Brjansk Centre for Agricultural Radiology and Chemistry and dispatched for further processing to the Agency’s Laboratories at Seibersdorf in November 1990. This material has been γ-sterilised to ensure long-term stability of the material by inhibiting microbial action.
