Recent Instruments for Measuring the Concentration of Radioactive Products in the Atmosphere; APPAREILS RECENTS ET METHODES NOUVELLES POUR LA MESURE DE LA CONCENTRATION DES PRODUITS RADIOACTIFS DANS L'ATMOSPHERE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4287680
Radioactive contamination of the atmosphere is a danger which is connected to the development of atomic industry. Six instruments which were developed and constructed in France for the detection of radiation in the vicinity of reactors and nuclear research centers are described. Four of the instruments are designed for measurement of radioactive aerosols, with sensitivities ranging from 10/sup -11/ to 10/sup -1/ c/m/sup 3/. A special aerosol detector is designed to measure plutonium concentrations. The SP-4 is designed to monitor the radiation produced on the ground by smoke from reactors. The A.D.I.R., an automatic and portable instrument, is designed for measurement of the radon content of the atmosphere. (J.S.R.)
