Abstract

The structure of gamma spectrometry systems for decommissioning nuclear facilities is considered. Physicotechnical characteristics of a xenon gamma spectrometer being a main device for measuring gamma spectra of analyzed objects and determining their activity are presented. The practicability of xenon gamma spectrometers in decommissioning nuclear facilities is shown. The data obtained using the gamma spectrometry system is transmitted over internet to a remote computer to process experimental data in real time.
