11	A method for predicting peak scanning detection efficiency of a cylindrical sodium iodide scintillation detector Duffy, William L. 12 September 2001 (has links) Scanning surveys of building surfaces and land areas are performed with radiation detection equipment to identify areas of elevated radioactivity. To quantify the extent and magnitude of the contamination, follow-up radiation surveys and soil sampling are usually required. The ability to accurately quantify discrete locations or "hot particles" of contamination requires a full understanding of the scanning detection efficiency of the instrument being used. A cylindrical sodium iodide detector's scanning detection efficiency was examined theoretically using the Monte Carlo N-Particle Code, version 4b, and examined experimentally using the Marianno Research Sled located in the Department of Nuclear Engineering, Oregon State University. A method is described for predicting instrument scanning detection efficiency for a 1 s observation interval over a range of scanning speeds using a series of static detection efficiency measurements. Testing of the prediction method and accuracy of predicted values was performed by comparison to experimentally determined values of scanning detection efficiency. Additionally, the validity of the predicted scanning detection efficiency values was tested by quantifying a radioactive source at a number of scanning speeds to quantitatively determine its activity. Activity values determined by scanning the source were compared against an activity value determined a by high purity germanium detection system. Results indicate that the method is both easy to perform and provides statistically accurate scanning detection efficiency values that can be utilized for the quantification of discrete locations or "hot particles" of radioactive contamination. / Graduation date: 2002 Radiation -- Measurement Scintillation counters
