Samarskite-(Y)

Post by Svilen » 28 Jul 2019, 01:02

Just an usual spectrum, but from a quite rare sample - Samarskite (70 min, 2x2" NaI(Tl)).
Samarskite-(Y) is a radioactive rare earth mineral containing Yttrium, Uranium, Thorium, Niobium, Tallium and occurs in rare earth bearing granite pegmatites.

The activity of the sample is about 15 times the background in the castle (~150/s for the sample).
