Abstract (EN): A whole body counting system is in operation at the Nuclear and Technological Institute, in Portugal. Computational methods were used to determine the detection efficiency; a well-known source of bias in modelling the behaviour of a HPGe detector is the insufficient knowledge regarding the thickness of the lithium dead layer. In order to accurately simulate the detection system and to achieve agreement between the Monte Carlo results and the performed measurements, the value for the dead layer thickness was optimized.
