16 th DOE NUCLEAR AIR CLEANING CONFERENCE 14 co 2 MONITORING WITH LONG PATH LENGTH INFRARED
نویسندگان
چکیده
Long path length infrared tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy is being developed as a technique for monitoring several low energy beta-decay radioisotopes associated with nuclear waste offgases. We will report a determination of sensitivity forl 4co 2 and an evaluation of potential interferences. Recent experiments have also ~~monstrated an applicability for measuring iodine isotopes such as H1 I. Development work will be reported demonstrating the feasibility of also monitoring tritium as TF or TCl.

متن کاملMultipass cell based on confocal mirrors for sensitive broadband laser spectroscopy in the near infrared.
We report on broadband absorption spectroscopy in the near IR using a multipass cell design based on highly reflecting mirrors in a confocal arrangement having the particular aim of achieving long optical paths. We demonstrate a path length of 314 m in a cell consisting of two sets of highly reflecting mirrors with identical focal length, spaced 0.5 m apart. The multipass cell covers this path ...

Tests were conducted to verify that new air monitoring systems at Hanford air exhaust stacks met the Draft HPS/ANSI N13.1 performance criteria developed for air sampling systems at nuclear facilities.(‘) The standard’s performance criteria address both the suitability of the air sampling probe location and the sample transport to the collection devices. The contaminants in a stack must be well ...
متن کاملMonitoring Multinomial Logit Profiles via Log-Linear Models (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)
In certain statistical process control applications, quality of a process or product can be characterized by a function commonly referred to as profile. Some of the potential applications of profile monitoring are cases where quality characteristic of interest is modelled using binary,multinomial or ordinal variables. In this paper, profiles with multinomial response are studied. For this purpo...
متن کامل24th DOE/NRC NUCLEAR AIR CLEANING AND TREATMENT CONFERENCE THE INFLUENCE OF SALT AEROSOL ON ALPHA RADIATION DETECTION BY WIPP CONTINUOUS AIR MONITORS
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) alpha continuous air monitor (CAM) performance was evaluated to determine if CAMS could detect accidental releases of transuranic radioactivity from the underground repository. Anomalous alpha spectra and poor background subtraction were observed and attributed to salt deposits on the CAM sampling filters. Microscopic examination of salt laden sampling filters...
