摘 要:The assessment of activated concrete is particularly difficult during the decommissioning of an accelerator *** analysis by core boring is the only method of investigating the activity of concrete *** address this problem,an in-situ and nondestructive analysis method was developed to determineγ-ray-emitting nuclides and their specific activities in the concrete walls and floor by using a portable germanium semiconductor *** this work,we examined a substitute for Ge detector to establish a simpler and more convenient *** candidates,we focused on some scintillation type spectrometers,and the possibility of a substitute for a Ge detector was examined by both simulation and *** detection limits were roughly estimated through Monte Carlo simulation for various scintillation crystals,and it was found that 1.5-inch LaBr3,CeBr3,and SrI2 could distinguish the clearance *** was confirmed that the 1.5-inch LaBr3 could reproduce the calibration curve of the Ge detector in the *** required thickness and length of the radiation shield for suppressing the background radiation during the measurement was also determined for the convenience of an actual decommissioning work.
