摘要

 Proficiency testing was conducted annually from 2015 to 2023 in Fukushima prefecture. The testing targeted public institutes engaged in activity measurements and inspections employing high-purity germanium detectors. This study assesses whether these institutes maintained sufficient measurement capabilities over multiple years. The sample was brown rice grain containing 134Cs and 137Cs massic activities traceable to the national standard. The D%, z′ score, and En values were used to evaluate performance. For both 134Cs (2015–2020) and 137Cs (2015–2023), most reported values were considered "Acceptable." Thus, the participants appeared to maintain sufficient measurement capabilities.
