This part of ISO 14850 describes a procedure for measurements of gamma-emitting radionuclide activity in the following homogeneous objects: — unconditioned waste, including process waste (filters, control rods, etc.), dismantling waste, etc.; — waste conditioned in various matrices (bitumen, hydraulic binder, thermosetting resins, etc.), notably in the form of 100 I, 200 I, 400 I or 800 I drums, and test specimens or samples, (vitrified waste); — waste packaged in a container, notably technological waste. It also specifies the calibration of the gamma spectrometry chain. The gamma energies used generally range from 0,05 MeV to 3 MeV.
