Development of Automatic Radioactivity Measurement and Data Analysis System for Radiation Monitoring

Abstract

An automatic radioactivity measurement and data analysis system has been developed for radiation monitoring.
It consists of ten detectors and a minicomputer system. Eight detectors are used for spectroscopy measurement and two detectors are used for only counting alpha and beta-rays.
This system can fulfill (1) easy and parallel operation with ten detectors, (2) quick analysis of measured data, (3) evaluation of the radioactivity released from each facility, and (4) automatic measurement and data analysis for numerous samples.
As a result of developing this system, up to 30, 000 samples a year can be dealed with economically and effectively.
