TL;DR: In this article, a new low-background fully automated high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer MCA_Rad has been developed, which can measure in less than one hour a typical NORM sample enriched in U and Th with some hundreds of Bq kg−1, with an overall uncertainty less than 5%.

TL;DR: The Full Spectrum Analysis (FSA) approach has been chosen to analyze the γ spectra and the (137)Cs isotopes has been implemented in the analysis since it has been found not negligible during the in-situ measurements.

TL;DR: The LARAMED project was established a few years ago at LNL-INFN as a new research line aimed at exploiting the scientific power of nuclear physics for developing innovative applications to medicine, and is to elect LNL as a worldwide recognized hub for the development of production methods of novel medical radionuclides, still unavailable for the scientific and clinical community.

TL;DR: It is conjectured that this alternative production route will not replace the current supply chain based on the distribution of 99Mo/99mTc generators, but could become a convenient emergency source of Tc-99m only for in-house hospitals equipped with a conventional, low-energy, medical cyclotron.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented maps of K, eU, and eTh abundances of Elba Island (Italy) obtained with a multivariate spatial interpolation of airborne γ-ray data using the constraints of the geologic map.
