The invention provides a semi-
chromatography gamma scanning method for low-medium
radioactive waste barrel measurement. A rotary platform, a
detector platform, a
detector with a
collimator, a transmission source platform, a transmission source, a shielding part of the transmission source and an analysis module are adopted in the method. A waste
barrel is divided into multiple section
layers in the height direction, the waste
barrel is rotated, surface distribution of radioactive point sources on the section
layers is changed into
linear distribution of ring sources in the
radius direction, the
detector conducts measurement at different section layer heights and different eccentric positions in the section
layers, an equation set reflecting the mutual relation between the detector
counting rate and the activity of
nuclide in annular grids is established, the equation set is solved, distribution of the activity of the radioactive
nuclide in the waste barrel in the
diameter direction and the height direction of the barrel is acquired, and the total activity of the radioactive
nuclide in the waste barrel is acquired through summation. The method is high in measurement accuracy, short in measurement time and high in practical value and application prospect.
