The structure of the actual detector was computed using the code of the PENELOPE. Using the standard mixed sources (450, 1,000 ml), compare the effectiveness of each energy according to various densities and height of the PENELOPE computer simulation, and calculate the effectiveness of the various environmental specimens and apply them to various environmental specimens to determine the lower limit. The values obtained by the obtained value were obtained by applying the obtained efficiency to the actual environmental specimens and obtaining the lower limit values. The density correction factor is 1.155 g of the density correction factor of $0.4g/cm^3$ (59.54keV), 1.153 (661 keV), $1.06g/cm^3$ 1.064 (1,836.04keV), 1.03, and 1.033. It was confirmed that the radioactivity concentration of environmental samples decreased as the amount of specimen was measured increases, and the MDA value decreased as time measured increases.

In order to calibrate energy and efficiency using the PENELOPE Code, a PENELOPE simulation was performed using a volume source. Here, we want to verify peak efficiency and usefulness by performing simultaneous measurement and correction. calculate the coincident sum correction for all volumes, first subdivide the volumes of the cylinder and the four Marinelli beakers into three heights again. Therefore, the simultaneous measurement correction coefficient in three areas and the simultaneous measurement correction coefficient for the entire volume source are calculated as output. At low energies, the j value for each source volume (50-300 ml) is small and increases significantly in the high energy range. Simulation results showed good agreement within 2.5% for all source volumes except for 50 ml and 300 ml, which were up to 4%. This means that the correction for the simultaneous measurement effect during measurement is effective. In addition. Based on this, it can be confirmed that there is an advantage to improve the detection efficiency when measuring various sources and environmental samples.
