Abstract

This work presents a Segmented Gamma Scanning (SGS) efficiency calibration method based on Monte Carlo simulation and function model, to calculate the efficiency matrix and reconstruct the radioactivity of the radioactive waste drum. The middle- or low-energy gamma rays emitted by the transmission source 152Eu, cannot transmit the high-density waste drum in the Segmented Gamma Scanning of the radioactive waste drum. Therefore, the accurate attenuation correction cannot be achieved through efficiency calibration, for the middle- or low-energy gamma rays emitted from the drum, which affects the accuracy of the reconstructed radioactivity. High-energy gamma rays have been employed to transmit the waste drum to determine the density of segment, and then the efficiency of segment is determined from the density of segment and the energy of gamma rays emitted from the waste drum. When the point source 137Cs is distributed in segments with varying densities in the waste drum sample, the relative deviations of reconstructed radioactivity fall in − 90.69% ~ 22.33%. The method is convenient and effective for the SGS efficiency calibration while measuring the high-density waste drum, and the relative deviations of reconstructed activity are acceptable on this basis. Compared with alternative methods, the process outlined in this method is more simple, operational, and practical. Further, it provides the user with a practical method in SGS efficiency calibration and the activity reconstruction of the waste drum.

基于蒙特卡罗模拟和函数模型的放射性废物桶测量 SGS 效率校准方法
本研究提出了一种基于蒙特卡罗模拟和函数模型的分段伽马扫描(SGS)效率校准方法,用于计算效率矩阵和重建放射性废物桶的放射性。在对放射性废物桶进行分段伽马扫描时,透射源 152Eu 发射的中低能量伽马射线无法穿透高密度废物桶。因此,无法通过效率校准对废料桶发射的中低能量伽马射线进行准确的衰减校正,从而影响重建放射性的准确性。有研究利用高能量伽马射线发射废料桶来确定分段密度,然后根据分段密度和废料桶发射的伽马射线能量来确定分段效率。当点源 137Cs 在废桶样品中以不同密度分段分布时,重建放射性的相对偏差在 - 90.69% ~ 22.33% 之间。在测量高密度废物桶时,该方法对 SGS 的效率校准是方便有效的,在此基础上重建放射性活度的相对偏差是可以接受的。与其他方法相比,该方法所概述的过程更简单、更具操作性和实用性。此外,它还为用户提供了一种实用的 SGS 效率校准和废物桶放射性重建方法。
