Assessment of radioactive contamination of construction materials used in deep underground experiments has been carried out using ultra-sensitive analytical methods such as radiometrics, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), and neutron activation analysis. The lowest detection limits, < 1 nBq g$^{−1}$, has been obtained with ICPMS and AMS techniques.Read less <
