摘要
Results of analysis of cosmogenic radionuclides (Co-57,Co-58,Co-60, Mn-54, Sc-46, Na-22, V-48 and Al-26) in fragments of the Koice meteorite are presented and discussed. Analyses were carried out using a low-level HPGe-spectrometer placed in a lead-iron-copper shield. Twelve meteorite fragments were available for the analysis with masses from 27 to 2,163 g. The lowest massic activities were observed for Sc-46 (down to 0.1 mBq/g), and the highest for Na-22 (up to 2 mBq/g). The measured radionuclide activities showed differences between fragments, as indicated mainly by the Co-60 data, which were caused by different positions of meteorite fragments from the center of the meteorite body.
