摘要
Bayesian inference is used to determine the Air Kerma Rate based on in-situ gamma spectrum measurement performed with an Nal(Tl) scintillation detector. The procedure accounts for uncertainties in the measurement and in the mass energy transfer coefficients needed for the calculation. The WinBUGS program (Spiegelhalter et al., 1999) was used. The results show that the relative uncertainties in the Air Kerma estimate are of about 1%, and that the choice of unfolding procedure may lead to an estimate systematic error of 3%.
