Description

This paper introduces a radioactive hotspot 152Eu was discovered successfully in front of the gate of the cement pipe prefabricated component factory when we had been carrying out airborne survey for natural radioactivity levels and searching for radioactive sources by the Airborne Monitoring System for Nuclear Accident Emergency at somewhere in northern China. The total activity estimated is (2.13 x 4.11)x109Bq(57.5 - 111.0mCi). And the error of longitudinal position is less than 15m. (author)
