An informal collaborative group of radiocarbon dating laboratories, the Low-Level Club, has been established to measure the gamma radiation flux and to test the efficiency of the anticoincidence counting system in laboratories with a NaI detector unit. The detector will record gamma radiation from cosmogenic nuclides, muons and secondary γ radiation formed in the passive shield by charged cosmic-ray particles. We present here the first phase of this work.
