Abstract

Abstract Radioactive sealed sources and radiotracer techniques are used to diagnose industrial process units. This work introduces a workspace to simulate four sealed sources and radiotracer applications, namely, gamma scanning of distillation columns, gamma scanning of pipes, gamma transmission tomography, and radiotracer flow rate measurements. The workspace was created in Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission (GATE) simulation toolkit and was called Industrial Radioisotope Applications Virtual Laboratory. The flexibility of GATE and the fact that it is an open-source software render it advantageous to radioisotope technology practitioners, educators, and students. The comparison of the simulation results with experimental results that are available in the literature showed the effectiveness of the virtual laboratory.

一个用于工业中放射性示踪剂和密封源应用的虚拟实验室

摘要:放射性密封源和放射性示踪技术被用于工业过程单元的诊断。这项工作引入了一个工作空间来模拟四种密封源和放射性示踪剂的应用，即精馏塔的伽马扫描、管道的伽马扫描、伽马透射层析成像和放射性示踪剂流量测量。该工作空间是在Geant4层析发射应用(GATE)模拟工具包中创建的，称为工业放射性同位素应用虚拟实验室。GATE的灵活性以及它是一个开源软件的事实使它对放射性同位素技术从业者、教育者和学生都很有利。仿真结果与文献中已有的实验结果进行了比较，验证了虚拟实验室的有效性。
