An underground station for the measurement of low level radioactivity is in operation in the town of Como under the Baradello hill. The laboratory is covered by 100 m of rock (~ 300 m w.e.). The main activities carried out at the laboratory concern the measurement of the radioactive content in different kind of matrices by means of an HPGe detector shielded with radio-pure copper. Another research subject of the laboratory is the analysis of fast neutron flux produced by natural radioactivity of the rocks using liquid scintillator cells. This paper reports about the preliminary measurements carried out to characterize the site. Moreover gamma and neutron spectrometry set-up are described and some measurement results performed on low level radioactivity samples and on fast neutron flux are also reported.
