Low-Background Detection Unit

The low-background detection unit is intended for measuring samples of the following types:
— samples “AFA Filter” made of analytical aerosol filters AFA with a diameter of 52 mm used in different ventilation systems of an NPP;
— samples “Water Sample” made of the samples of NPP liquid disposals packed in measuring containers, Marinelli vessels, with a capacity of 0.5 L.

The low-background detection unit comprises the spectrometer module and the low-background shielding chamber.

Spectrometer module

The spectrometer module is designed for measuring gamma-ray spectra of the “AFA Filter” and “Water Sample” samples.

The module consists of the scintillation detection unit integrated with the unit of the digital spectrometric processor and the source of PMT high-voltage supply. The power is supplied to the spectrometer module by a PC via the USB interface.
