Description
The study provides an overview of the radiological risks caused by airborne contaminations in the event of fire. Seven different types of ionization smoke detectors were subjected to fire tests in a small-scale experimental oven especially designed for that purpose, and the release of radioactive americium - 241 was measured by means of the filter method. Autoradiographic and scanning electron microscope examinations, together with X-ray fluorescence spectra of the sample matrix, round off the picture of the release mechanism. (orig./DG)

Die Untersuchung gibt einen Ueberblick ueber das radiologische Risiko von bei einem Schadensbrand auftretenden Luftkontaminationen. Dazu wurden 7 verschiedene Typen von I-Meldern in einem eigens dafuer konstruierten Kleinversuchsofen Brandtests unterworfen und die Freisetzung von radioaktivem Americium-241 mittels Filtermethode gemessen. Autoradiographische und rasterelektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen runden das Bild ueber den Freisetzungsmechanismus zusammen mit Roentgenfluoreszenzspektren der Probenmatrix ab.
