Radiation Detection for Control and Protection; CONTRIBUTION A LA DETECTION DES RAYONNEMENTS EN VUE DU CONTROLE ET DE LA PROTECTION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4260946
The improvements made in the fields of gamma-ray dosimetry by photographic films, alpha dosimetry and spectrometry, standardization and autonomy of the electronic components of radiation detectors, and the dosimetry of pulsed radiations are described. The sensitivity of film to x rays and chemical rengents was studied so that a correction could be applied to gamma film dosimetry for these factors. Research on alpha dosimetry led to the improvement of ZnS scintiilation counting. The construction of an alpha spectrometer is described. A description is given of improvements made in ionization chambers, counters, and scintillators. The measurement of pulsed radiation of very short periods is discussed. (J.S.R.)
