Detection of Alpha-induced radioluminescence in the ultraviolet C range for Nuclear Decommissioning Applications

(Corresponding) Gamage K., Crompton A.
Topic: 
Hazardous waste management
The close range of traditional alpha radiation detectors makes detection time-consuming and potentially hazardous. Alpha-induced radioluminescence in the ultraviolet C (UVC) wavelength range (180-280 nm) may be the mechanism through which stand-off detection can be achieved. The UVTRON (Hamamatsu...Read more

Characterisation of Radioactive Contaminated Waste: Alpha-Induced Air-Fluorescence Detection Under Daylight Conditions

(Corresponding) Gamage K., Crompton A.
Topic: 
Hazardous waste management
Short travel of alpha particles in environments complicated the detection and characterisation of alpha-emitting contamination in mixed radiation fields in nuclear decommissioning sites. As a result, detection of alpha-induced radioluminescence became popular in nuclear decommissioning applications...Read more
