A Device for the Remote Detection of Alpha Emitters under Field Conditions

摘要

The portable ДOP device was designed for the ecological monitoring of the radiation of alpha radioactive nuclides, such as plutonium, uranium, radium, etc. Under field conditions, it can detect alpha emitters at distances of up to 0.5 m. The device's performance data are as follows: the lower threshold of the particle energy is 0.2 MeV, single measurement time is no more than 10 s, and the minimum detectable activity is 1000 Bq.
