- •
We proposed a general characterization process for activated Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
- •
Estimated a reference chemical composition for electronic boards.
- •
Calculated the radionuclide inventory and the importance of major radionuclides.
- •
Identified the chemical composition, the radiation field and the cooling time as sensible parameters for the activation of PCBs.
- •
Validated the characterization method with real-life cases of PCBs activated at CERN.
