ブ4を通って外部に排出される。Next, the operation will be explained. The sampling gas released to the location where the radiation dose is to be measured is collected after containing radiation and stored in the gas container 1. Next, the sampling gas is introduced into the radiation measurement chamber 2 via the inlet vibrator 3, where the radiation dose in the sampling gas is detected by the radiation detector 5, and an electrical signal is taken out by the cable 6. Then, the sampling gas in the radiation measurement chamber 2 whose radiation dose has been detected is discharged to the outside through the exit vibrator 4.
従来の放射線検出装置は以上のように構成されているの
で、放射線測定室2内に導入されたサンプリングガスの
温度が、放射線測定室2の外部温度より高い場合には、
放射線測定室2の内壁に結露を生じていた。この結露を
放置しておくと、放射線測定室2内に結露水が溜まり、
放射線(特にβ線)が遮蔽されてしまうために、放射線
検出器5が正確な検出を行なうことができなくなり、さ
らに、この結露水により放射線測定室2の内壁が腐食さ
れてしまうなどの問題点があった。Since the conventional radiation detection device is configured as described above, when the temperature of the sampling gas introduced into the radiation measurement chamber 2 is higher than the external temperature of the radiation measurement chamber 2,
Condensation had formed on the inner wall of radiation measurement room 2. If this condensation is left untreated, it will accumulate inside the radiation measurement chamber 2.
Since radiation (especially β rays) is blocked, the radiation detector 5 cannot perform accurate detection, and furthermore, this condensed water corrodes the inner wall of the radiation measurement chamber 2. was there.
この発明は上記のような問題点を解消するためになされ

なうことができると共に、放射線測定室2の内壁の腐食
を防止できる放射線検出装置を得ることを目的とする。This invention was made to solve the above problems, and by preventing the occurrence of dew condensation in the radiation measurement chamber 2, the radiation detector 5 can accurately detect the radiation dose. Another object of the present invention is to obtain a radiation detection device that can prevent corrosion of the inner wall of the radiation measurement chamber 2.
この発明に係る放射線検出装置は、加熱装置を、放射線
測定室及び放射線検出器の外周に取付け、サンプリング
ガスが放射線測定室に導入されたときに、この放射線測
定室内の結露の発生を防止するようにしたものである。In the radiation detection device according to the present invention, a heating device is attached to the radiation measurement chamber and the outer periphery of the radiation detector, so that when sampling gas is introduced into the radiation measurement chamber, condensation is prevented from forming inside the radiation measurement chamber. This is what I did.
この発明における加熱装置は、放射線測定室の周囲を均
一に加熱し、放射線測定室の内部と外部との温度差を小
さくする。したがって、サンプリングガスが放射線測定
室に導入されても結露が発生することはない。The heating device according to the present invention uniformly heats the surroundings of the radiation measurement chamber and reduces the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the radiation measurement chamber. Therefore, even if the sampling gas is introduced into the radiation measurement chamber, no condensation will occur.
以下、この発明の一実施例を図について説明する。第1

構成するヒータ、12は断熱材、13はカバーである。An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, 10 is a radiation measurement room 2 and a radiation detector 5.
11 is a heater constituting the heating device 10, 12 is a heat insulating material, and 13 is a cover.
なお、その他の構成要素は第2図のものと同様のため、
その説明を省略する。Note that the other components are the same as those in Figure 2, so
The explanation will be omitted.
次に動作について説明する。ヒータ110通電により、
放射線測定室2の周囲が加熱され、また、大きな熱容量
を有する放射線検出器5も加熱されるため、放射線測定
室2の内部と外部とは、はぼ等しい温度に上昇する。Next, the operation will be explained. By energizing the heater 110,
Since the surroundings of the radiation measurement chamber 2 are heated and the radiation detector 5 having a large heat capacity is also heated, the temperature inside and outside of the radiation measurement chamber 2 rises to approximately the same temperature.
この状態で、ガス容器1からサンプリングガスが放射線
測定室2に導入されても、放射線測定室2の内部と外部
との温度差は殆んど変わらないため、放射線測定室2の
内壁に結露が発生することはない。したがって、放射線
検出器5はβ線をはじめとする各種の放射線量の検出を
正確に行なうことができ、さらに、放射線測定室2の内
壁の結露水による腐食を防止することができる。In this state, even if the sampling gas is introduced into the radiation measurement chamber 2 from the gas container 1, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the radiation measurement chamber 2 will hardly change, so there will be no condensation on the inner wall of the radiation measurement chamber 2. It will never occur. Therefore, the radiation detector 5 can accurately detect various radiation doses including β-rays, and can further prevent corrosion of the inner wall of the radiation measurement chamber 2 due to condensed water.
なお、上記実施例では、ヒータ11として電気ヒータを
用いた場合を説明したが、電気ヒータの他種々のヒータ
を使用することが可能である。In the above embodiment, an electric heater is used as the heater 11, but it is also possible to use various types of heaters other than the electric heater.

う効果がある。As described above, according to the present invention, the heating device is attached to the outer periphery of the radiation measurement chamber and the radiation detector, and when sampling gas is introduced into the radiation measurement chamber, the generation of condensation inside the radiation measurement chamber is prevented. This configuration has the effect that the radiation detector can accurately detect the radiation dose and that corrosion of the inner wall of the radiation measurement chamber can be prevented.
