From Bq cm⁻³ to Bq cm⁻² (and conversely)—part 2: useful dataset to apply the conversion to decommissioning operations

A large set of key parameters is provided to use in decommissioning operations, the conversion method fully described in the companion paper "From Bq cm⁻³ to Bq cm⁻² (and conversely)—part 1: a useful conversion for autoradiography". Maximum range R_MAX and emission fraction F_E are given for a large combination of radionuclides (³H, ¹⁴C, ⁶⁰Co, ¹³⁷Cs, ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, ²³⁹Pu and ²⁴⁰Pu) and materials (plastic, concrete and steel) encountered in nuclear facilities. Geometric factor of the detector efficiency is investigated to consider the common complications related to the analysis of the contaminated facilities such as irregular surface or distance between detector and contaminated surface.
