Abstract

Homogeneity assessment is explicitly required by ISO Guide 35. In connection with the INSIDER project, relevant reference material was chosen to be developed. For this purpose liquid material characterised for radionuclide content with accuracy better than 10% at the 95% confidence level and based on liquid effluent tank waste from JRC Ispra was produced by CMI and homogeneity of the selected radionuclides was evaluated.

Keywords: ANOVA; F-test; Homogeneity; ISO Guide 35; Reference material.
