Description

Water monitors equipped with a plastic scintillator are widely used to measure the radioactive concentrations of β-emitters in liquid waste. Plastic monitors are highly sensitive to high energy β-emitters like 32P, but they are insensitive to low energy β-emitters like 3H, C. This is a result of the detector's surface being covered by a thin protective layer. A computerized plastic scintillator water monitor system was devised for high energy β-emitters at our facility The response to 32P was investigated so that optimum conditions for operating the monitor could be achieved.
