Development of automated measurement device for low-level radioactive contamination on building surfaces

Tachibana, Mitsuo; Ito, Hirokuni*; Hatakeyama, Mutsuo*; Yanagihara, Satoshi

The RAPID-1600 was developed to measure a low-level radioactive contamination on building surfaces automatically. The double layered detectors are structured by two gas flow type detectors with a $$beta$$ rays shielding plate between the two detectors and it is horizontally positioned. The lower counter measures $$beta$$ and $$gamma$$ rays and the upper counter measures $$gamma$$ rays. The $$beta$$ rays counting rates are derived by subtracting $$gamma$$ rays counting rates of the upper counter from $$gamma$$ and $$beta$$ rays counting rates of the lower counter. This mechanism results in sensitive to $$beta$$ rays against to low background radiation conditions. The driving unit can move omnidirectionally by controlling two driving wheels individually, and has a capability to correct its position if an orbital error is detected by the self-position identification system. The RAPID-1600 was successfully applied to the actual measurement in the radioisotope production facilities. The RAPID-1600 is expected to be a useful tool for measurement of radioactivity in decommissioning nuclear facilities.

Development of measuring device for inner surfaces of embedded piping (Contract research)

The MISE was developed to evaluate low-level radiological contaminations of inner surfaces of piping. The MISE consists of a cylindrically-formed double layered type detector and a piping crawling robot, which were designed and manufactured separately. In measurements of the contaminations, an outer cylindrical detector close to the surface of piping measures $$beta$$-rays and $$gamma$$-rays and an inner cylindrical detector set after a shielding plate for shield of $$beta$$-rays measures $$gamma$$-rays. The $$beta$$-ray counting rates are derived by subtracting $$gamma$$-ray counts measured by the inner detector from $$gamma$$- and $$beta$$-ray counts measured by the outer detector. The robot transports the double layered type detector with observing inner surfaces of piping. The detection limit for the contamination of $$^{60}$$Co was found to be about 0.17Bq/cm$$^{2}$$ with measurement time of 30 seconds. It is expected that 0.2Bq/cm$$^{2}$$ corresponding to clearance level of $$^{60}$$Co (0.4Bq/g) can be evaluated with measurement time of 2 seconds, which is equal to measurement speed of 54m/h.
