Real-Time Monitoring of Alpha Emissions. Final report, FY 1994

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10115738· OSTI ID:10115738
; ;
A technology is being developed for on-line, real-time monitoring of mixed and low-level incinerator stacks for levels of airborne alpha activity. The Large-Volume Flow Thru Detector System uses a detector composed of multiple parallel plates of scintillating material fabricated so that the entire stack gas stream flows directly through the inter-plate volume. This report is largely a compilation of 3 reports on background reduction, once-through flow tests, and the aeronautical/mechanical engineering work. The full text of each report is included as an appendix.
