Mathematical Calibration of a Whole-Body Counter
This paper describes the mathematical efficiency calibration of the whole-body counter at Forschungszentrum Jülich using Monte Carlo codes and mathematical anthropomorphic phantoms. As a prerequisite for the Monte Carlo simulations a precise model of the 4 high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors had to be developed. Because the technical data provided by the manufacturer were not sufficient for ...
متن کاملBetter Counter-measures for Curtailing Whole Body Retention of Radiostrontium
Accidents are always sudden. They happen despite considerable developments in the safety techniques/warning systems, affecting not only the workers directly involved, but also the people around. This is evident from the reported article on the 15th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, entitled: “15 years on, Chernobyl survivors relive the nightmare” by Philippe Coumarianos (Times of I...
متن کاملThe Accuscan-ii Vertical Scanning Germanium Whole Body Counter
The ACCUSCAN-II is manufactured by Canberra Industries, and represents a new generation of WBC systems. One or two Germanium detectors are used for precise nuclide identification. The detectors scan the total body and can accurately quantify radioactive material anywhere in the body. The shield is a full 4" thick steel weighs about 9000 lbs. The subject can be counted standing for full body sca...
متن کاملEvaluation of Whole Body Counter at Nagasaki University
A whole body counter was installed at Nagasaki University in 1968. Evaluation of the whole body counter was done by accumulated data during 15 years since its installation. The items used for the evaluation were the background radiation, the resolution and sensitivity of the measurement system. The characteristics of the apparatus has been stable for these years: The background counting rate wa...
متن کاملBABYSCAN: a whole body counter for small children in Fukushima.
BABYSCAN, a whole body counter for small children with a detection limit for (137)Cs of better than 50 Bq/body, was developed, and the first unit has been installed at a hospital in Fukushima, to help families with small children who are very much concerned about internal exposures. The design principles, implementation details and the initial operating experience are described.
