Detection of ''hot particles''

Activities for this project include systematic analysis of the specialized literature and screening of the various subject-specific reports of studies performed in the CIS; identification of open questions, particularly relating to the ''hot particle'' measuring methods. Investigation of unresolved questions in connection with the measuring techniques and uncertainties resulting from inhomogenous radioactivity distributions due to the ''hot particles''; testing of the major measuring methods for assessment of error potentials due to ''hot particles'' in the material; cost/benefit analysis with respect to the relation of technical efforts/expense and results obtained with the various measuring techniques.
