Rapid determination of radioactivity level in bulk quantities of soil material

Creators

Description

A framework of steel beams and columns is described into which an ISO container of potentially radioactive waste soil can be inserted. The framework supports a series of geiger counters which are brought up close to the sides, top and bottom of the container, which measure the extent of radioactivity coming from the waste. The geiger counters feed the activity levels to a computer which analyses activity levels in relation to position. (author)
