1 A Review of Emerging Gamma Detector Technologies for Airborne Steven Bell ANSRI Dublin January Radiation Monitoring
2 Airborne radiation Particulates: sub-μm to sub-mm contaminated with fission products (e.g. 137 Cs and other volatile species) Gases: 3 H, 14 C, 85 Kr, 133 Xe Background radon/thoron and progeny Inhalation of radioactive airborne particulates (aerosols) and gases pose a serious health risk Emissions from nuclear facilities must be monitored National early warning networks provide extra layer of monitoring
3 Airborne radiation measurement Airborne particulates: Continuous monitoring with in-situ detector and static or moving filter High volume sampling with large area filter Alpha, beta and gamma emissions can be measured Air gamma dose: Typically measured with GM tube
4 Radioactive aerosol generation facility Facility required to test and calibrate air monitors Particulate sizes: 0.3 μm and 4 μm polystyrene microspheres Isotopes: 239 Pu, 137 Cs, 99m Tc (alpha, beta, gamma) Controlled background of 222 Rn and progeny
5 MetroERM Metrology for radiological early warning networks in Europe National early warning networks provide near real time measurements to allow governments to respond during emergency situations Measurements of ambient dose rate and airborne radionuclide activity concentrations Accurate, coherent and complete data is required Outcomes: optimisation and harmonisation of measurements New technology is key to achieving outcomes

11 A fast signal allows high rates (not of interest) and good timing resolution This is of interest Timing resolution allows coincidence measurements to be made With knowledge of the decay scheme, coincidence measurements can be used to identify specific radionuclides and reject background events Requirements of decay scheme: Fast detectors? E γ > ~100 kev, short lifetime of intermediate state and high probability of γ-emission (low internal conversion coefficient)
12 Coincidence measurements Simple coincidence set up Multichannel digitiser

17 Summary MetroERM is a pan-european project with the aim of harmonising the measurement and interpretation of data during radiological early warning events NPL are committed to investigating new and existing technology for the measurement of gamma-emitting airborne radioactive particulates with a strong interest in coincidence measurements We aim to use the radioactive aerosol generation system to test commercially available gamma spectrometers for their suitability for these purposes
