Abstract: A sea going instrument is used to measure the 234Th activity on settling particles in the ocean as an indicator of carbon sequestration as export from the surface ocean. The instrumentation can be adapted to multiple sampling platforms with the goal of providing high temporal resolution 234Th flux measurements at multiple locations and depths in the ocean. This proxy of mass flux is used to complement other in situ sensors to provide high resolution data for features such as Chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla), accessory pigments, and PIC normalized to mass flux.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a laminate is disposed on a spacer in a bottle. The laminate comprises: a sample layer that includes a sample sheet; an upper scintillator layer (upper member); and a lower scintillator layer (lower member). Each of the upper and lower scintillator layers is made of a plastic scintillator material. The sample sheet is manufactured by laminating a carrier such as filter paper having a radioactive substance adhered thereto.

Abstract: A ceramic lithium indium diselenide or like radiation detector device formed as a pressed material that exhibits scintillation properties substantially identical to a corresponding single crystal growth radiation detector device, exhibiting the intrinsic property of the chemical compound, with an acceptable decrease in light output, but at a markedly lower cost due to the time savings associated with pressing versus single crystal growth.

Abstract: A method for detecting a radionuclide using energy spectrum data represented by a count depending on energy obtained from a radiation detector, including: calculating a count ratio for a particular energy value using a background energy spectrum data measured without a target object to detect the radionuclide and a target energy spectrum measured in the presence of the target object; and comparing a background count ratio and a target object count ratio, where the count ratio is a ratio of a low count sum of count values which is an energy value or less divided by a high count sum of the count values which is greater than the particular energy value, or a ratio of the low count sum of the count values which is smaller than the particular energy value divided by the high count sum of the count values which is the particular energy value or greater.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for distinguishing radionuclides are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: receiving energy generated in one or more radioactive elements; applying energy as a weight for each channel to spectrum of the received energy; and distinguishing the one or more radioactive elements on the basis of the spectrum of the spectrum to which the weight is applied. A radioactive element having an energy value corresponding to a peak value of the spectrum of the energy to which the weight is applied, as an energy value of a Compton edge, is distinguished as the one or more radioactive elements. According to the present invention, it is possible to more accurately monitor radiation even while using a plastic scintillator, and further to improve energy resolution of a plastic scintillator.
