Resumo
Gamma spectrometry is an analytical technique extensively employed in radionuclide determination. The usual
ease of sampling preparation, the wide range of natural and artificial radionuclides that can be determined, and
the applicability of this technique in a variety of sample matrices are some of its advantages. However, some
care is needed when the technique is intended to be used as a tool for identification and quantification of
radionuclides comprised in radioactive decay series. In such situations, as the radioactivity contents in the
sample can naturally vary along the time, the results are critically dependent of the radioactive equilibrium
conditions of the sample. In this work, we outline some criteria to decide about the radionuclide equilibrium
situation expected to occur in various kinds of samples and thus decide the procedure to be taken to assure the
reliability of the results in such complex situations. Provided that such analysis is carried out, gamma
spectrometry can be used even in the determination of radionuclides that do not directly emit gamma radiation,
based on the concentration of their gamma-emitter decay products. Different procedures, especially related to
the delay time and sample sealing to assure proper radioactive equilibrium conditions, are required prior to the
sample measurement, according to the origin and composition of the analyzed materials.
