Calibration of the Whole Body Counter for Measurement of Transuranium Elements in Lungs

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

For purposes of in vivo measurements, two whole body counters (WBC) are operated in SÚRO. One of them was recently upgraded and equipped with new high efficient detectors. LLNL torso phantom was used for calibrations of the new WBC detection system. Thephantom is comprised with three pairs of replaceable lungs; one pair without activity, and two others with added 239Pu or 241Am activity. Considering the thickness and composition of the torso soft tissue, attenuating low energy photon radiation of transuranium elements, the phantom contains additional over layers of four different thickness simulating muscle and adipose tissue in ratio 1:1. Along with experimental calibrations of the WBC detection system using physical phantom, Monte Carlo technique has been used.
