Radioactivity induced by bremsstrahlung photons in samples of composite scintillators containing grains of inorganic GSO:Ce, GPS:Ce, YSO:Ce and YAG:Ce crystals is studied. Measurements of the amplitude spectra of composite scintillators indicate the presence of intrinsic gamma activity resulting from the irradiation. The results obtained agree with the assumption of long-lived gamma-emitting isotope production. This should be taken into account, when composite scintillators are used for particle registration with detectors subjected to intensive irradiation.
