Abstract
A description of a 10-channel alpha-radiometer with large-area semiconductor detectors is presented. The radiometer is designed for the determination of soil pollution by alpha-active radionuclides using the method of thick samples. The radiometer also provides isotope analysis. The concentration of Pu and Am isotopes in soil samples has been determined.<>
