Abstract. In this work, the detection limits for the radioactivity counting are determined. Several decision rules are presented and applied to calculate the critical value. The value obtained by the best approximation for the alpha particles counting, was used to evaluate the minimum detectable concentration in: water, soil and air.
Key words:  detection limits, radioactivity counting.

GRANICE DETEKCIJE ZA BROJANJE ALFA ČESTICA
U radu su određene granice detekcije za merenje radioaktivnosti pomoću brojača ? / ? čestica. Prikazana su različita pravila odluke i primenjena pri izračunavanju kritične vrednosti. Vrednost dobijena korišćenjem najbolje aproksimacije za obavljeni eksperiment brojanja ? čestica, primenjena je u proračunu minimalne merljive koncentracije za: vodu, zemlju i vazduh.
