Abstract
One of the issues of the European Research Project MetroMetal is to develop reference materials in order to provide SI-traceable radioactivity monitoring in foundries. For this purpose, a protocol for preparing a set of identical standard slag samples, containing known activity concentrations of 226Ra, has been developed. This paper describes the preparation of the raw material, the characterisation in terms of its mineralogical, chemical and radiological features, the spiking procedure and the homogeneity testing of the spiked samples.
