Description
This paper presents a wet-sipping system for quick diagnosis of irradiated fuel elements. Gamma detection is equated with respect to counting rate and system global efficiency. The theoretical results are verified by an experimental simulation employing NaI (Tl) and HPGe detectors in a I-131 activated water tank. The tank volume is parameterized for dimensioning to reach a minimum sensitivity of 600 Bq/l for gamma rays of 364 keV. It is found that the HPGe is the detector type which best suits the resolution requirement for a sipping system. (author)
