| Abstract: |
Real-time, trace alpha activity monitoring in extreme mixed radiation fields is a well-known challenge in fission product-rich streams containing mixtures of beta-gamma-alpha radiation-emitting isotopes, arising due to the extreme 106:1 ratio of background beta-gamma vs. alpha radiation activity levels. This paper presents results from a novel approach to addressing this challenge, based on Tensioned Metastable Fluid Detector (TMFD) sensing technology. An acoustically driven technique was developed and tested at Purdue University (using dissolved Rn-Po and U-chain alpha emitters), and validated (with dissolved Pu) at Savannah River National Laboratory for real-time monitoring of alpha activity in the 100–10,000 dpm/mL range.
