  • Title: SIMULATION OF THE RESPONSE OF A LaBr3(Ce) DETECTOR IN AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAMINATED WITH RADIONUCLIDES AFTER A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ACCIDENT.
    Author: Urban T, Vágner P.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2019 Dec 31; 186(2-3):346-350. PubMed ID: 31836901.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibility of using detectors based on LaBr3(Ce) scintillation crystal as part of gamma spectrometry systems for field use and possibly as part of a monitoring network around nuclear power plants, i.e. whether LaBr3(Ce) detectors can follow the classical scintillation detectors based on NaI (Tl). For this purpose, the Monte Carlo simulation of the IPROL-1 probe response was performed in the simplified geometry of the radionuclides-contaminated atmosphere. A study shows that a LaBr3(Ce)-based probe is usable for this purpose and results are at least comparable to those with a conventional NaI (Tl)-based probe.
