Title: DUAL FUNCTION SYSTEM FOR GAMMA RADIATION MONITORING IN AN EXTRACTION PROCESS PILOT PLANT

Abstract

A system is described for automatically sampling and monitoring the gamma radiation of solutions in a pilot plant for the processing of spent nuclear fuels. Gross activity levels can be measured in the range six mc/l to three c/l, and gamma energy analysis can be made in the range 10 mc/l to 100 m/1. The system devised provides for automatic repetitive measurement of the gamma activity of eleven process streams at 30-min intervals, but is readily adapted to continuous messurement of each stream activity when continuous sampling is feasible. The problems which had to be solved, and the design philosophy which was used in developing the system are presented. (auth)
