Dedicated Monte Carlo Procedures Applied in Gamma- ray Spectrometry Used in Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities
Because the experimental efficiency calibration is limited to several measurement geometries and cannot be applied directly to all measurement configurations, the efficiency transfer method for the efficiency computation was applied using ETNA software. An approach using efficiencies measured with point sources combined with theoretical procedures was applied for obtaining the peak efficiency ε...
متن کاملOptimization of measurement counting time in Gamma-ray spectrometry of soil samples
The method of optimal measurement counting time in Gamma spectrometry for soil samples was studied. Gamma spectrometry was done based on minimum detectable activity using the HPGe- p type with efficiency of 30% and FWHM 1.7keV (for 1.33 MeV 60Co). The samples were IAEA-RG Th-1, IAEA-RGU-1 and IAEA-RGK-1 prepared in bottles. The measurements were done for 12 different counting times from 5 min t...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Gamma Ray Source Activity on Down-hole Nuclear Density Tool’s Reading Using Simulation by MCNP Code
Developing well logging methods will increase the applications of logs related to all the other geology sciences. Well logging curves introduce the essential information to evaluate reservoir characterizations, rock type and also formation fluid properties quantitatively. One of the most important parts of drilling and completion operations which affect making decision about the future planes i...
متن کاملLow-resolution gamma-ray measurements of uranium enrichment.
We have developed smaller, lighter hardware (MCA and shielded detectors) that has been successfully transferred to the commercial sector. We have developed software that has received limited testing, the next release should be sufficiently robust for wide release to the general public. We have had initial success with more sophisticated analysis methods. We are pursuing medium-resolution tors a...
متن کاملBasic characterization of highly enriched uranium by gamma spectrometry
Gamma-spectrometric methods suitable for the characterization of highly enriched uranium samples encountered in illicit trafficking of nuclear materials are presented. In particular, procedures for determining the U, U, U, U and U contents and the age of highly enriched uranium are described. Consequently, the total uranium content and isotopic composition can be calculated. For determining the...
