9 1. SUMMARY This environmental radioactivity Proficiency Test Exercise (PTE) was the nineteenth in a series of such exercises run by NPL over the last 25 years. The exercises help analysts to identify measurement problems and also support UKAS accreditations in this area, and they are run on an annual basis by NPL. A range of sample types have been made available over the course of these exercises; these have been mostly aqueous in nature, although in recent years solid samples have been included. Eight sample types were made available for analysis in the 2013 PTE: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) AH: a high-level mixture of five α-emitting radionuclides 20 g of dilute nitric acid (1 20 Bq g 1 per radionuclide) AL: a low-level mixture of five α-emitting radionuclides 500 g of dilute nitric acid (1 20 Bq kg 1 per radionuclide) B1: a mixture of three β-emitting radionuclides 500 g of very dilute NaOH solution (0.1 2 Bq g 1 per radionuclide) B2: a mixture of four β-emitting radionuclides 500 g of dilute nitric acid (0.1 2 Bq g 1 per radionuclide) GH: a high-level mixture of four γ-emitting radionuclides 100 g of dilute nitric acid (1 20 Bq g 1 per radionuclide) GL: a low-level mixture of four γ-emitting radionuclides 500 g of dilute nitric acid (1 30 Bq kg 1 per radionuclide) P: a peat sample containing four radionuclides 100 g (1 20 Bq g -1 per radionuclide) S: a sandy soil sample containing four radionuclides 100 g (0.1 5 Bq g -1 per radionuclide) As in previous years, the main objective was to assess the performance of the participating laboratories. This required the participants to identify (and/or measure) the activity concentrations of the radionuclides present in the samples, whereas the tasks of NPL were to prepare and distribute the samples, to collect, analyse and interpret the results and to compile an exercise report. The Assigned Values for the activity concentrations of the radionuclides in the aqueous sample types were traceable to national standards of radioactivity, which in turn provide traceability at an international level to the ultimate reference point of all measurements (the SI reference value maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM)). Each aqueous sample type was prepared (as a bulk sample) by combining weighed aliquots of standard solutions of the individual radionuclides with a weighed amount of carrier solution and then diluting the mixture further to achieve the target activity concentrations. Dilution factors were measured gravimetrically and were validated by counting sources prepared at the various dilution levels using either liquid scintillation counting or gamma spectrometry. The Assigned Value for each nuclide was calculated by dividing the activity concentration of the original standard solution by the dilution factor(s). The bulk solution was subdivided into (typically) 40 bottles and homogeneity was checked by gamma spectrometry where Page 1 of 186

10 applicable. Solution stability was checked by counting one or more bottles at NPL at regular intervals throughout the course of the PTE. The Assigned Value for each nuclide in the peat sample type was calculated from the data reported by the PTE participants. Firstly, the bulk raw material was procured from Public Health England (Chilton, Oxfordshire, UK). It was spiked in 1984 and had been used for determining soil-to-plant transfer factors. On receipt by NPL, it was visually inspected and homogenised before being oven-dried and sub-divided into bottles. All the bottles were measured by gamma spectrometry at NPL to determine homogeneity, and a subset of the bottles were issued to the participants. On receipt of the participants data, the Assigned Value for a given nuclide was calculated as the Weighted Mean of the Largest Consistent Subset (WM LCS) of the data for that nuclide. The sandy soil bulk sample was procured also from Public Health England and had also been spiked in At NPL, it was processed and measured in the same way as the peat sample, and the Assigned Value for each nuclide present was again calculated from the WM LCS of the reported data. The NPL data analysis method is described in Section 2. Note that, unless otherwise stated, all uncertainties quoted in this report are standard uncertainties multiplied by a coverage factor of k = 1, providing a level of confidence of approximately 68 %. 2. TREATMENT OF DATA The data were analysed using the same methods as in the 2012 exercise (Dean et al., 2013). The deviation D from the assigned value from each laboratory value was calculated from: L N L D = = 1 [1] N N The standard uncertainty (k=1) u D of the deviation was calculated from: 2 2 ul u N u D = + [2] L N L N The quantities zeta (ζ), the relative uncertainty of a laboratory s value (R L ) and the z-score were calculated from: L N ζ = [3] 2 2 u L + u N R L ul = [4] L L N L N z = = σ p N [5] Page 2 of 186

11 where: L is the participant s value; N is the Assigned Value; u L is the standard uncertainty of the participants value; u N is the standard uncertainty of the Assigned Value; σ p is the standard uncertainty for proficiency assessment. The zeta and z-scores were used to determine whether the difference between the participant s value and the Assigned Value was significantly different from zero. The Interquartile Range outlier test (Harms and Gilligan, 2011) was used to determine whether the relative uncertainty R L was significantly larger than the other values in the data set. Note that this test is unable to identify outliers if the data set is smaller than 7. Results for which the absolute values of the zeta score and the z-score are both and for which R L is not significantly larger than the other values in the data set are taken to mean that the participant s value is in agreement with the Assigned Value. These results are plotted as dark blue points in this report. If (i) R L is significantly larger than the other values in the data set, or (ii) the result passes the zeta test but not the z-test (i.e., there is a large deviation from the Assigned Value combined with a large uncertainty), or (iii) the result passes the z-test but not the zeta test (where there is a small deviation from the Assigned Value and a small uncertainty), the participant s value is classified as questionable (plotted in yellow). If the absolute values of both the zeta score and the z-score are greater than 2.576, then the participant s value is classified as discrepant from the Assigned Value (plotted in red), regardless of the value of R L. The factor of used to calculate the z-score is the ratio of 0.15 (i.e. a deviation of 15%) to In other words, a participant value with a deviation D having an absolute value of 15% will pass the z-test.

12 3. SUMMARY OF PARTICIPANTS RESULTS In addition to the analyses of individual participants data as described in Section 2, the Weighted Mean of the Largest Consistent Subset (WM LCS) of the reported results for each radionuclide in the aqueous sample types was calculated using the method described previously (Harms and Gilligan, 2011) and then compared with the NPL Assigned Values. The results are given in Tables 2 to 7. The WM LCS of the P and S sample types are also given, in Table 8.

Results in agreement are represented by dark blue points whereas questionable and discrepant results are given in yellow and red respectively. The error bars represent the standard uncertainties u D (with a coverage factor of k=1). The light blue lines represent z-scores of and (-15 % or +15 % deviation).

Data analysis was carried out on data as reported (i.e. before rounding). Uncertainties have been rounded such that the significant figures of the standard uncertainty lie between 3 and 25. The standard rules of rounding have been applied, except in cases where rounding down would have reduced the uncertainty by more than 5 %, in which cases the uncertainty was rounded up.
