Abstract: This article summarized the preparation process and intercomparison results of the simulated environmentalradioactive soil samples. The components of the matrix were:SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, CaO, NaCl, KCl and TiO2. All of the components were milled, oven-dried, sieved and then blended together. The homogeneity test was according to GB 15000.5—1994, and no significant differences were observed. The 3H analysis soils were spiked natural soils with the moisture content of 15%. Eight laboratories attended this intercomparison. The results proves that the preparation of the simulated soils were suitable for the inter-laboratories comparison.

Key words: simulated soil, intercomparison, environment, radioactive
