Abstract

The results of measurements of natural radioactive isotopes content in different source materials of natural and enriched composition used for CaMoO₄ scintillation crystal growing are presented. The crystals are to be used in the experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta decay of ¹⁰⁰Mo.
