Measurement of surface alpha contamination using electret ion chambers.
Electret ion chambers are inexpensive, light-weight, commercially available, passive charge-integrating devices for accurate measurement of different radiations. Performance of electret ion chambers for surface alpha contamination measurement was evaluated. Ion chambers of two types and electrets of three thicknesses were used for the study. Calibration of the electret ion chambers was performe...
متن کاملMEASUREMENT OF ""Rn (THORON) USING ELECTRET ION CHAMBERS
Recently there has been an increased interest in the measurement of airborne ""Rn (thoron). Such measurements are particularly targeted in areas rich in thorium, and in facilities processing thorium compounds and associated radioactive wastes. Standard electret ion chambers @-PERMSR)* designed for making indoor and outdoor "^Rn (radon) measurement have very little response to "¡R (thoron). How...
متن کاملA PRELIMINARY COMPARISON OF RADON SURFACE FLUX MEASUREMENT USING LARGE AREA ACTIVATED CHARCOAL CANISTERS fLAACC) and ELECTRET ION CHAMBERS flEIC)
As part of an ongoing project studying the radiological and environmental effects of the application of phosphogypsum (PG) to agricultural land, a preliminary comparison was made between the base line EPA radon flux measurement technology that uses LAACC's and new methods using EIC's. These studies were made at the Range Cattle Research and Education Center. The radon sources for these tests co...
متن کاملNeutron Energy Spectra and Dose Equivalent Rates from Heavy-ion Reactions below 20 Mev/u Using the Phits Code *
Neutron energy spectra from 6.25 MeV/u C ions incident on a copper target, 10 MeV/u C ions incident carbon, copper, and lead targets, and O ions incident on a copper target have been calculated using the Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (QMD) [1] coupled to the Generalized Evaporation Model (GEM) [2] in the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport Code (PHITS) [3]. In particular, the influence of the “...
متن کاملDose verification of helical tomotherapy intensity modulated radiation therapy planning using 2D-array ion chambers
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical usage of dose verification of Helical Tomotherapy plans by using 2D-array ion chambers, and to develop an efficient way to validate the dose delivered for the patients during treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS A pixel-segmented ionisation chamber device, IMRT MatriXX™ and Multicube™ phantom from IBA were used on ten selected Tomotherapy IMRT/IGRT head and ne...
