トレンチ処分対象のウラン廃棄物中に含まれる放射能量評価への適用を想定し、ドラム缶等の容器に収納された廃棄物中に含まれる放射能を、パッシブ$$gamma$$線により簡易な方法で定量評価することが可能な手法の理論体系を構築した。廃棄物収納容器を対向位置測定する方法で、廃棄物収納容器の中に3次元的に分布する線源位置を表す物理量と$$gamma$$線計数率の変化の関係を表す評価式を導出した。線源位置を表す評価式は、ウラン系列で放出される1001keVと766keVの2つのエネルギーでの$$gamma$$線計数率のピーク比R(1), R(2)と、2つのエネルギーの放出率比kから、1/(ln(k/R(1))$$times$$ln(k/R(2)))で与えられる。この物理量とエネルギー1001keVの$$gamma$$線計数率n$$_{1}$$とn$$_{2}$$から計算される(n$$_{1}$$$$times$$n$$_{2}$$)$$^{1/2}$$の間に一義的な関係があることがわかった。

Intending to apply to radioactive waste drums for trench disposal, we have developed a new analysis method on measuring radioactivity of uranium enclosed in each of the waste drums using passive $$gamma$$ ray measurement. We propose a new evaluation function which gives a unique relation between source positions and $$gamma$$ ray count rate. This evaluation function has been derived from the measurement method using two opposing detectors. The new evaluation function is given by Z=1/(ln(k/R(1))$$times$$ln(k/R(2))), where "R(1)" and "R(2)" are the ratios of different energy (766 keV and 1001 keV) $$gamma$$ ray count rates measured by the detectors. "k" is the ratio of emission rates of the two energy $$gamma$$ rays. We have discovered that the evaluation function uniquely relates Z and (n$$_{1}$$$$times$$n$$_{2}$$)$$^{1/2}$$, where "n$$_{1}$$" and "n$$_{2}$$" are the $$gamma$$ ray count rates measured by the detectors.
