Abstract: Inter-comparison among analytical laboratories for measurements of radionuclides in soil and water samples is described in this article. Inter-comparison media included spiked soil, real soil, and spiked water. Determination of 90Sr, 60Co, 134Cs, and 137Cs for spiked soil, 238U, 232Th, 226Ra, 40K, 90Sr, and 137Cs for real soil, and 3H, 90Sr, 60Co, 134Cs, and 137Cs for spiked water were carried out. Eleven laboratories participated in this inter-comparison, and the result of inter-comparison was fine. Key problems found during the inter-comparison are summarized and some suggestions are put forward for future inter-comparison activities.

Key words: laboratory of environment monitoring, soil, water, radioactivity, inter-comparison
