From neutrino to wine
To minimize the intrinsic radioctivity of the
detector, all materials have been selected using
germanium photon detectors of very low level
natural radioactivity
With such detectors measurement of 137Cs in wine
Activity 137Cs (mBq/l)
Nuclear fallout
Tchernobyl
Activity 137Cs ? year
