Description

Collimator device capable of automatically adjusting gamma ray flux and measuring system thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear radiation detection, in particular to a collimator device capable of automatically adjusting gamma ray flux and a measurement system thereof, and particularly relates to a detection system collimator device capable of automatically adjusting gamma ray flux.
Background
Segmented Gamma Scanning (SGS) and Tomographic Gamma Scanning (TGS) have been widely used for detecting nuclear power plant barreled waste as important Non-Destructive analysis (NDA) techniques. The method is mainly characterized in that the method comprises the steps of measuring the count and the energy of gamma rays according to a radiation detector, measuring the energy spectrum of the gamma rays by combining a multi-channel analyzer, determining the species of nuclides, and reconstructing the activity according to the count rate to determine the activity of the nuclides. Gamma ray measurement is mostly performed by using a high-purity germanium detector.
There is a dead time for the measurement of gamma rays. Since it takes a certain time for the electronic circuitry of the detector to process each incoming photon, when the intensity of the ray entering the detector is too high, there is a case where the previous ray has not been processed and the next ray has entered, and the ray entering later at this time may not be processed, which is a dead time effect. Dead time is an important factor influencing the measurement accuracy of a high-purity germanium detector system, and the loss of measured counts can be caused by the fact that the dead time is large, namely the measured counts are smaller than actual values. Aiming at the SGS technology, when the dead time of the high-purity germanium detection system is longer due to the fact that the activity of a measured target is larger, the detection upper limit of the SGS measurement system can be widened by reducing the number of rays entering the sensitive volume of a detector. The existing method comprises the following steps: a shielding block is additionally arranged in front of the collimator, and the aperture size is changed by adjusting the whole structure of the collimator. In practical application, the purpose of reducing the number of rays entering a sensitive volume of a detector can be realized by adding a shielding block, but researches show that the method has great difference in attenuation effects on different energy rays, the high-energy rays have strong penetrating power, and the attenuation ratio is obviously smaller than that of low-energy rays, so that when the high-energy rays are normally measured, part of the low-energy rays cannot penetrate through the shielding block to enter the sensitive volume of the detector, and the measurement error is large or even the effective measurement cannot be carried out. The method for changing the size of the opening by adjusting the overall structure of the collimator can solve the problem that low-energy rays cannot be detected, but due to the defect of design, the overall structure needs to be adjusted by occupying a large space, and the method is not beneficial to popularization and application in an actual detection system. In addition, compared with the SGS technology, the TGS technology requires a collimator with a smaller opening, but at present, there is no collimator device that can automatically adjust the opening size and is compatible with both the SGS and TGS measurement systems.
In view of the defects of the collimator device of the measuring system, the invention provides the collimator device capable of automatically adjusting the gamma ray flux, and the shielding slide block capable of changing the size of the collimation opening is arranged inside the collimation opening to realize the adjustment of the ray flux.

Through the regulation, the detection accuracy of the detection system to different radiation level waste barrels is ensured, the detection upper limit of the measurement system is widened, and the measurement requirements of low energy to high energy rays can be considered due to the fact that the ray flux is regulated instead of the shielding material directly absorbing rays.
Through the regulation, the detection accuracy of the detection system to different radiation level waste barrels is ensured, the detection upper limit of the measurement system is widened, and the measurement requirements of low energy to high energy rays can be considered.
Table 1 shows the adjustment coefficient ξ of the collimator shielding slider at different positions under typical nuclides, and it can be found that the attenuation effects of the invention on low-energy and high-energy rays are basically consistent, the adjustment range is about 0.25 to 1, and the detection upper limit can be expanded by 4 times. Meanwhile, if a regulation method that lead shielding materials are adopted to absorb gamma rays is adopted, the attenuation effects of the gamma rays with different energies are inconsistent. For example, a 2cm lead block emits a gamma ray of 1.33MeV for the Co-60 species attenuated to 0.2871, while a gamma ray of 0.356MeV for the Ba-133 species attenuated to 0.002, which differs by a factor of 100, resulting in an inefficient measurement of the Ba-133 species.
