Sommario/riassunto

Methods for the calibration and use of germanium spectrometers for the measurement of gamma-ray energies and emisssion rates over the energy range from 59 keV to approximately 3000 keV, and for the calculation of source activities from these measurements, are established. Minimum requirements for automated peak finding are stated.
