    摘要: A radon detection package permits improved retention of radon, while limiting absorption of moisture which otherwise drives radon off from the package. A pouch of radon absorbing material is supported during a testing period, preferably in a vertical position, and substantially surrounded during such period by a hood-like envelope of radon impermeable material. The hood-like envelope includes an opening, preferably directed downward, which permits access of air and radon to the pouch of radon trapping material. A foldable cardboard wedge is inserted into the opening of the envelope structure for providing a channel along the pouch which admits air and radon into the package so as to controllably expose the pouch. Further in accordance with the present method, the foldable cardboard insert may be removed upon completion of a testing period, and the envelope-like structure closed around the pouch to form a self-mailer unit, which may be sent to a processing plant for detection of the amount of radon in the pouch.

    摘要: A radon sampling unit comprising a cylindrical body containing a measured amount of charcoal for collecting and holding radon gas. A fine mesh screen is frictionally held on top of the charcoal by a retaining ring engageable with the inner sidewall of said body. The lid is screw threaded and hermetically sealed to the body. A layer of dessicant is frictionally held inside the body vertically spaced above the charcoal. The cylindrical body has a plurality of alternate lugs on top thereof at different heights and a retaining metallic ring which serves as a unique method of retention of the lid assembly to the body. The cylindrical body may be modified by having an interior spirally wound metallic sheet to vary the inner diameter of the body as desired.

    摘要: A dual scintillation radiation detector having two different scintillation detector materials arranged and shaped in order to detect and determine the quantity of the two different radiations such as beta and gamma present within an unknown sample. The detector can be used in apparatus for laboratory use, manual portable probe applications, or in elongated probes for simultaneously reading radiation present as the probe is lowered into an earth bore. The scintillation radiation detector material for the high energy radiation is positioned on the opposite side of the first detector material from the radiation source so that the high energy radiation must penetrate through the first material before entering the second. This provision allows discrimination and filtering of the low energy radiation from the second detector material. The first detector material is provided in the shape of a thin, flat plate or in the shape of a hollow cup with the second material mounted on one side of the plate or within the cup. Suitable photomultiplier sensing tubes are connected to a surface of the scintillation material to convert the light energy pulses caused by the radiation into electrical output pulses which are processed and digitally displayed. Suitable radiation shielding is provided in conjunction with the scintillation detector materials to filter and discriminate against unwanted low energy radiation. The detector is suitable for use in the beta-gamma method of analysis for determining uranium oxide ore grade within an unknown sample.

    摘要: Alpha particles emitted from radon 220, a daughter product formed from the decay of thorium, are prevented from reaching an alpha particle detector by enclosing the detector in a volume into which alpha-emitting radioactive gases can only enter through a semipermeable membrane at least about 10 mg/cm.sup.2 in thickness. The enclosed volume must be between 30 and 2000 cm.sup.3 and the (AP)/(VL) ratio must be between 10.sup.-7 and 10.sup.-5. Also, the detector must be positioned so as to expose it to gas from the membrane for a distance of at least 2 cm through a solid angle of at least one steradian.

    摘要: Neutron generator in well logging instrument is pulsed 100 times having a time between pulses of 1400 microseconds. This is followed by an off period of four cycles wherein 2800 microseconds is allowed for capture radiation to decay to an insignificant level and the remaining 2800 microseconds is used to measure background radiation. This results in the neutron source being disabled four pulses after every hundred pulses of operation, or approximately a 4% loss of neutron output. A first detector gate is open from 400 to 680 microseconds and a second detector gate is open from 700 to 980 microseconds. During the 100 cycles, each of the gates is thus open for 280 microseconds times 100 for a total of 28,000 microseconds. By scaling the gate count rate by a factor of 10, the background is subtracted directly.

    摘要: A system for monitoring a zone for the presence of a source of plutonium in which the updated background level of gamma rays is compared with the readings obtained when a possible carrier of a gamma ray source enters the zone. Counting is initiated, and an alarm is sounded when the counting after a predetermined period of time accumulates to a value in excess of the background total plus a significant statistical deviation as a factor of the background total.
