Abstract

In this study, radiation measurement system has been investigated to set up for the radioisotopes analysis in the radioactive waste samples after selecting the radiation counters of alpha beta and gamma nuclides. The counting efficiencies for alpha, beta and gamma measurement systems were calibrated. To obtain stability of the radiation detectors, quality control program has been established. Also, minimum detectable activities (MDAs) depending on the type of samples were calculated for increasing the confidence level for analytical result.

본 연구에서는 알파선, 베타선 및 감마선 방출 핵종에 대한 검출기를 선정하여, 방사성 시료의 핵종분석을 위한 방사선 측정 시스템을 연구하고 구성하였다. 그리고 알파, 베타 및 감마 측정 시스템에 대한 검출효율을 교정하였다. 방사선 검출기에 대한 안정도를 확보하기 위해 품질관리 프로그램이 확립되었다. 또한 분석결과에 대한 신뢰도를 확보하기 위해 시료유형에 따른 최소검출방사능을 구하였다.
