Determination of the flux of a neutron radioisotope source through gold activation method
Introduction: In recent years, the use of neutrons has increased in various fields such as medicine and industry. One of the important applications of neutrons is in medical research. Neutrons have greater linear energy transfer than gamma rays and are considered more dangerous radiation. Hence, the detection and determination of neutron dose is a very important and vital issu...
متن کاملCalibration curves for on-line leakage detection using radiotracer injection method
One of the most important requirements for industrial pipelines is the leakage detection. In this paper, detection of leak and determination of its amount using radioactive tracer injection method has been simulated by Monte Carlo MCNP code. The detector array included two NaI (Tl) detectors which were located before and after the considered position, measure emitted gamma from radioactive trac...
متن کاملPassive neutron area monitor with CR39
Background: In high-intensity, mixed and pulsed neutron fields the use of spectrometers or area monitors with active detectors is useless in these conditions neutron measuring devices must have a passive detector. Here a passive neutron area monitor with CR39 track detector was designed and the response was calculated. Materials and Methods: The response of a passive neutron area monitor with C...
متن کاملPhoton dosimetry based on selective data sampling for the NaI(TL) detector
Radiation detection is essential for determining of radiation dose. Depend on the detector and dosimetry method, detection process is performed in different levels. Pulse counting is the first level of detection. Typically, the output of a radiation detector for determining value of the radiation dose cannot be used directly. Through changing the response function or the readout detector, is tr...
متن کاملThe safety of a landmine detection system using graphite and polyethylene moderator
Background: Several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested up to now. Neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are the nuclear methods used for landmine detection. In this paper an optimized (safe and effective) moderating structure using an 241Am-Be neutron source for detecting landmines has been invest...
