貴重な土壌試料をガンマ線測定による天然放射性核種定量後も有効に使うために，PTFEシールによるU-8容器簡易密封法を検討した。本法により標準物質中の天然放射性核種を適切に定量できた。量研機構の1970年代のアーカイブ土壌試料222試料に適用し，40K, 232Th系列，238U系列に加え，土壌が現地の自然環境に長期間曝されていたことの判定のために137Cs濃度データを取得した。定量した天然放射性核種濃度から理論的に計算できる空間線量率の結果は，実測値とよく一致した。
For effective use of valuable soil samples after determination of naturally occurring radionuclides by gamma-spectrometry, a simple U-8 container sealing method with PTFE seals was investigated. When the method was applied to measure naturally occurring radionuclides in standard reference materials, it was found that the method could determine radionuclides adequately. Then using the method, 222 archived soil samples at QST collected in the 1970s, were measured to determine 40K, 232Th and 238U series radionuclides, and also measured for 137Cs activity concentrations to identify whether or not the soil samples were well exposed to natural conditions. The calculated air dose rates using the determined naturally occurring radionuclides agreed well with the ambient air dose rates at the time of sampling.
Key words: naturally occurring radionuclide; caesium-137; archived soil sample; global fallout; air-absorbed dose rate
