Abstract

A new Reference Material (RM) for radionuclides in mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Mediterranean Sea (IAEA-437) is described and the results of the certification process are presented. Four radionuclides ( ⁴⁰K, ²³⁴U, ²³⁸U, and ^239+240Pu) have been certified, and information values on massic activities with 95% confidence intervals are given for nine radionuclides (¹³⁷Cs, ²¹⁰Pb(²¹⁰Po), ²²⁶Ra, ²²⁸Ra, ²²⁸Th, ²³⁰Th, ²³²Th, ²³⁵U, and ²⁴¹Am). Results for less frequently reported radionuclides ( ⁹⁰Sr, ¹²⁹I, ²³⁸Pu, ²³⁹Pu, and ²⁴⁰Pu) are also reported. The RM can be used for quality assurance/quality control of the analysis of radionuclides in mussel samples, for the development and validation of analytical methods and for training purposes. The material is available in 200 g units.
