Sensitivity evaluation of the live steam volumetric radioactivity detector at various isotopic compositions of WWER primary circuit

Description

A detector is considered for continuous measuring of the live steam volumetric gamma radioactivity on the steam piping of the secondary circuit of NPP with WWER-440 and WWER-1000. The calculation of the detector sensitivity versus gamma-quanta energy is presented. On the basis of theoretical analysis a simple formula has been obtained relating the measuring device reading with the pipe and detector dimensions and accounting for the gamma-rays attenuation in steam and the pipe walls. Experimental data are presented
