Abstract

The title of the invention is Systems and Methods for Monitoring Radiation. Systems and methods for radiation monitoring using fuel-based liquid scintillation compositions are disclosed. Fuel-scintillation compositions according to the present disclosure can be used for the dual purposes of fuel to power an engine and scintillators to detect radiation. For example, the fuel-scintillation composition may be incorporated into a radiation monitoring vehicle that burns the fuel-scintillation composition to power the vehicle. Further, the system can be configured to detect scintillation events within the fuel-scintillation composition and can be configured to detect weak and / or distant radiation sources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for monitoring radiation. Background technique [0002] Radioactive materials and radiation sources can be detected using radiation detectors, typically scintillation detectors. Scintillation detection requires a special material, a scintillator that luminesces luminescently when excited by radiation. Scintillators can be used in solid or liquid form. Only certain ingredients, typically aromatic hydrocarbons, are scintillators in liquid form. [0003] The detection of weak radiation sources (eg, rarely occurring radiation events) and / or distant radiation sources typically requires large scintillation detectors for efficient detection. Large detectors can be expensive, difficult to build and / or difficult to move. Additionally, liquid scintillators may contain largely undesired materials. [0004] Accordingly, there is a need for systems and methods for monitoring radiation that can economically ...
