1 Radiation Monitoring Equipment Sharon Paulka Regional Training Course RAF Namibia, August 2009 International Atomic Energy Agency
2 Types of Monitoring Both Occupational & Environmental Require different instruments & techniques Gamma Dose Radon Radon Decay Products Potential Alpha Energy Concentration (PAEC) Long Lived Alpha Activity in Dust Alpha Surface Contamination 2
3 Radiation Monitoring Equipment GAMMA DOSE 3
4 Occupational Gamma Exposure 4
5 Environmental Gamma Baseline Large Areas Airborne survey Ground truthing Vehicle mounted survey Hand held spot checks Soil sampling Gamma dose plus U-238, Ra-226, K-40 Four Mile Creek Paralana Creek Retention Lease Boundaries mN 5
6 Environmental Gamma Baseline Small Areas Grid Survey (5-10m) NaI detector Better with GPS input Measurements at 1m 1 minute averaging Input into GIS system and produce contour map 6
7 Output from GIS system 7
8 Radiation Monitoring Equipment RADON 8
9 Radon in Air Predominantly environmental Passive Track Etch Instrument Portable (less sensitive) Caravan mounted (high sensitivity) Most common Baseline survey with several passive around site for 1-2 years 9
10 Radon Emanation Charcoal cups Activated charcoal Heated to purge Placed in cup Placed on soil & sealed for known time (24 hours) Accumulator drum Drum (or void space) placed on soil & sealed Left for 24 hours Volume sucked out into either instrument or Lucas cells 10
11 Radon, RnD & Gamma Station 11
12 Radiation Monitoring Equipment RADON DECAY PRODUCTS 12
13 Occupational Grab Sampling Most common for underground Gives quick result Can then action shut down of areas Several different methods Borak Tsivoglou Rolle 13
14 Occupational Continuous Sampling Gives complete diurnal variation Collects shift average data not just instantaneous Expensive Maintenance Issues Can be heavy to carry More common area 14
15 Diurnal Variation of RnD RnD Concentration PAEC (ujm-3) :00 20:00 22:00 0:00 2:00 4:00 6:00 8:00 10:00 12:00 Time Boost Jan 20 IX Jan 22 IX Jan 23 Elut Jan 25 IX Jan 27 15
16 Radiation Monitoring Equipment DUST 16
17 Occupational LLAA Personal and Area dust samples 25mm membrane filters IOM or seven hole sample head 2L/min Breathings zone Whole shift is possible 17
18 Occupational LLAA Leave sample in moisture free location for 1-2 days RnD to decay In theory 5 days Count on alpha sample counter Using efficiency determine Bq/m 3 18
19 Calibration of Flow & Optional Weight 19
20 Environmental Dust High Volume Air Samplers Best but most expensive and need power Low Volume Air Samplers Can be expensive Passive Dust All analysed for U-238, Th-230, Ra- 226, Pb
21 Radiation Monitoring Equipment ALPHA SURFACE CONTAMINATION 21
22 Surface Contamination Checking work areas Especially crib rooms & offices Checking personnel Clearance of items before leaving site Instruments Wipes & Gross alpha Counting 22
23 Alpha Scintillation Detectors Very sensitive Think Mylar foil When damaged light enters and will not detect Need training to use Not good for exploration sites 23
24 Exploration Clearance Surveys G-M pancake detector best Will not detect below 1Bq/cm 2 Clearance typically 0.4Bq/cm 2 Measures alpha, beta & gamma Ruggad 24
25 Traceability of Measurement Always important to remember that monitoring is predominately for calculating dose If dose is to be accurate each measurement must be accurate Each individual system must be traceable back to a known value If any part is incorrect then the final result is incorrect When calibrating need a certificate that demonstrates the source 25
26 Overview Many types of Monitoring Equipment Many types of Monitoring Parameters Selection is critical to ensure measurements are representative Calibration is critical to ensure measurements are accurate Always remember Traceability to a known source 26
