A new Reference Material (RM) for radionuclides in mussel ( Mytilus galloprovincialis ) from the Mediterranean Sea (IAEA-437) is described and the results of the certification process are presented. Four radionuclides ( 40 K, 234 U, 238 U, and 239+240 Pu) have been certified, and information values on massic activities with 95% confidence intervals are given for nine radionuclides ( 137 Cs, 210 Pb( 210 Po), 226 Ra, 228 Ra, 228 Th, 230 Th, 232 Th, 235 U, and 241 Am). Results for less frequently reported radionuclides ( 90 Sr, 129 I, 238 Pu, 239 Pu, and 240 Pu) are also reported. The RM can be used for quality assurance/quality control of the analysis of radionuclides in mussel samples, for the development and validation of analytical methods and for training purposes. The material is available in 200 g units.
