cbrn:Nuclide

A set of data for the analysis results for a single radionuclide.

cbrn:Nuclide holds other objects.

cbrn:Nuclide can hold any of these following objects, starting with the most specific and becoming more generic as you move down the list:


cbrn:NuclideIdentifiedIndicator

True if identified; false otherwise. Indicates whether the nuclide was identified by the analysis.

Holds true/false values.


cbrn:NuclideName

A Name of the nuclide.

Holds text.


cbrn:NuclideActivityValue

A calculated activity of a nuclide at the measurement time, expressed in kilobecquerel (kBq) units.

Holds numbers.


cbrn:NuclideActivityUncertaintyValue

A 1-sigma absolute uncertainty in the value of a NuclideActivityValue, expressed in kilobecquerel (kBq) units.

Holds numbers.


cbrn:NuclideMinimumDetectableActivityValue

A value for the minimum detectable activity (MDA) of a nuclide, expressed in kilobecquerel (kBq) units.

Holds numbers.


cbrn:NuclideIDConfidenceDescriptionText

A free-form text description of the confidence in the identification status of this nuclide; for example, Low, Medium, High.

Holds text.


cbrn:NuclideIDConfidenceUncertaintyValue

A value for the 1-sigma absolute uncertainty in the value of NuclideIDConfidenceValue.

Holds numbers.


cbrn:NuclideIDConfidenceValue

An Indication of confidence ranging from 0.0 to 100.0 percent, in the identification status of a nuclide, where increasing values indicate more certainty that the nuclide is present. The interpretation of this value is dependent on the characteristics of the nuclide identification algorithm.

Holds numbers.


cbrn:NuclideCategoryDescriptionText

A description of the category of the nuclide.

Holds text.


cbrn:NuclideSourceGeometryCode

An assessed geometry of a radiation source.

Holds code table entries.


cbrn:SourcePosition

An estimated location of a nuclide source by actual geographical coordinates or relative to a reference point.

Holds other objects.


cbrn:NuclideShieldingAtomicNumberID

An identifier of the estimated effective atomic number of the material shielding a nuclide.

Holds numbers.


cbrn:NuclideShieldingArealDensityValue

An estimated effective areal density of the material shielding a nuclide, in g/cm^2.

Holds numbers.


cbrn:RemarkText

A placeholder for comments intended to help the consumer of the data to understand better the information encapsulated by the parent element.

Holds text.
