    摘要: A system identifying a source of radiation is provided. The system includes a radiation source detector and a radiation source identifier. The radiation source detector receives measurements of radiation; for one or more sources, generates a detection metric indicating whether that source is present in the measurements; and evaluates the detection metrics to detect whether a source is present in the measurements. When the presence of a source in the measurements is detected, the radiation source identifier for one or more sources, generates an identification metric indicating whether that source is present in the measurements; generates a null-hypothesis metric indicating whether no source is present in the measurements; evaluates the one or more identification metrics and the null-hypothesis metric to identify the source, if any, that is present in the measurements.

    摘要: A neutron device may include a neutron emitter. The neutron emitter may include a target, an electron source, and a vacuum space in which ionization gas is disposed. The electron source may be configured to emit electrons toward the target when a voltage is applied between the target and the electron source. The vacuum space may be disposed between the target and the electron source. Reaction ions may be released when the electrons interact with the ionization gas. Neutrons may be emitted from the target when the reaction ions contact the target.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for simultaneous analysis of radiocarbon and tritium, the method including (i) mixing a radioactive waste sample containing a radiocarbon nuclide and tritiated water, and an oxidizing agent; (ii) oxidizing the radiocarbon nuclide in the radioactive waste sample to a gas containing an oxide of the radiocarbon nuclide by the oxidizing agent while suppressing volatilization of compounds containing gamma radionuclides other than the radiocarbon nuclide and tritium; (iii) discharging the gas containing an oxide of the radiocarbon nuclide by injecting an inert gas to the mixture; (iv) vaporizing and discharging the tritiated water in the mixture; and (v) analyzing radioactivity of radiocarbon and tritium from the discharged gas containing an oxide of the radiocarbon nuclide and tritiated water, and an apparatus for analysis of the same.

    摘要: A radon gas sensor comprising: a diffusion chamber; a photodiode positioned inside the diffusion chamber; and a photomultiplier positioned inside the diffusion chamber; wherein a scintillating material is provided on at least a part of an inner surface of the diffusion chamber. The photomultiplier detects more alpha particles, but cannot distinguish the energies of different alpha particles. On the other hand, the photodiode can distinguish different decays because the magnitude of the signal generated by the photodiode is proportional to the kinetic energy of the alpha particle striking it. Thus, the photodiode produces spectral data. The spectral data is used to estimate the amount of Polonium that is adhering to aerosols. This is used to apply a correction factor to the data to provide a better estimate of the true Radon concentration in the chamber. This can be combined with the count data of the photomultiplier for overall improved data.
