Innovative Technology Summary Report. Global Positioning Radiometric Scanner System. Deactivation and Decommissioning Focus Area.

摘要

The United States DOE continually seeks safer and more cost-effective technologies for use in decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) of nuclear facilities. To this end, the Deactivation and Decommissioning Focus Area (DDFA) of the DOE OST sponsors the Large Scale Demonstration and Deployment Projects (LSDDP). Historically at the INEEL, large area surveys have been conducted using hand-held monitors. The innovative technology described in the report is a GPRS system, which utilizes a detection system, differential global positioning system (d-gps), a portable computer, and a four-wheel drive vehicle. The detection system consists of two 4 in. x 26 in. x 1.5 in. plastic scintillators housed in an 8 in. x 8 in. x 72 in. white enamel steel box. The GPRS was demonstrated in September 1999 at one of the INEEL facilities as part of the INEEL LSDDP.
