Abstract
In this paper the Monte Carlo simulation program GESPECOR is applied for the computation of the efficiency of an HPGe gamma-spectrometry system used for the measurement of high volume samples. The detector characterization required for Monte Carlo simulation is achieved by a trial and error procedure using the efficiency values measured with point sources placed in several positions. After detector characterization, the efficiency values appropriate for the assessment of 220 l waste drums are computed and compared with experimental values.
