[0030] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0031] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where the device is located, and with the authorization given by the corresponding device owner.

[0032] First, the application scenario of the present application is described. The present application is applied to the scene of radioactivity measurement of radioactive substances. In this scene, the existing measurement method is to calculate the radioactivity by the linear attenuation coefficient of water. For non-uniformly distributed waste barrels and nuclear waste samples to be disposed of, two high-purity germanium detectors are used to measure the waste barrels to improve the accuracy of the analysis, and the linear attenuation coefficient of the medium in the barrel is calculated by multiplying the linear attenuation coefficient of water by the density. In particular, for the case where there are many types of shielding media in the target container, the linear attenuation coefficient of water is usually used, and the linear attenuation coefficient of the shielding medium is determined by multiplying the linear attenuation coefficient of water by the density of the target radioactive material. Then, the thickness of the shielding medium is determined by the radius of the target container and the distance between the target radioactive material and the axis of the target container. Finally, the radioactivity is determined by the linear attenuation coefficient and the thickness of the shielding medium.

[0033] However, the inventors have found that in the related art, the attenuation coefficient of the shielding medium is determined by the linear attenuation coefficient of water, and the thickness of the shielding medium is determined by the radius of the target container, which usually has a large error and low accuracy, resulting in poor accuracy of the finally measured radioactivity.

[0034] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a method and device for measuring radioactivity, a storage medium and an electronic device, comprising: obtaining an absorption factor of a shielding medium corresponding to each target radioactive material in a plurality of target radioactive materials in a target container and an absorption factor of the target container, the absorption factor representing the absorption efficiency of radioactive rays of the target radioactive material; determining the radioactivity of the target radioactive material according to the absorption factor of the shielding medium and the absorption factor of the target container. In this way, by determining the absorption factor corresponding to each target radioactive material in a plurality of target radioactive materials, and determining the radioactivity of the target radioactive material according to the absorption factor of the shielding medium and the absorption factor of the target container, the problem of poor accuracy of radioactivity analysis results caused by non-uniform radioactivity of the plurality of target radioactive materials is avoided, and the accuracy of the radioactivity measurement results when the plurality of target radioactive materials are non-uniform radioactive sources can be effectively improved.

[0035] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0036] Figure 1 A method for measuring radioactivity according to an exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 The method comprises:

[0037] S101, obtaining an absorption factor of a shielding medium corresponding to each target radioactive material in a plurality of target radioactive materials in a target container and an absorption factor of the target container.

[0038] The absorption factor represents the absorption efficiency of radioactive rays of the target radioactive material, the absorption factor of the shielding medium is related to the linear absorption coefficient of the material of the shielding medium and the thickness of the shielding medium, and the absorption factor of the target container is related to the linear absorption coefficient of the material of the target container and the thickness of the target container.

[0039] In some embodiments, the absorption factor of the shielding medium of each target radioactive material can be determined by respectively obtaining the linear absorption coefficient and the thickness of the shielding medium corresponding to each target radioactive material.

[0040] For example, for each target radioactive material in the plurality of target radioactive materials, the linear absorption coefficient and the thickness of the shielding medium corresponding to the target radioactive material are obtained, the linear absorption coefficient of the shielding medium representing the linear attenuation coefficient of the radioactive rays of the target radioactive material caused by the shielding medium; the absorption factor of the shielding medium of each target radioactive material is determined according to the linear absorption coefficient and the thickness of the shielding medium.

[0041] For example, the absorption factor ε1 of the shielding medium can be determined by the following formula:

[0042]

[0043] wherein ε1 is the absorption factor of the shielding medium, e is a natural constant, μ 介 is the linear absorption coefficient of the medium material of the shielding medium, the linear absorption coefficient is an inherent attribute of the material corresponding to the shielding medium, and can be obtained through a preset material-linear absorption coefficient correspondence relationship, d 介 is the thickness of the shielding medium, and the absorption factor of the shielding medium corresponding to the target radioactive material can be determined through the above formula.

[0044] In some other embodiments, the absorption factor of the target container can be determined by obtaining the linear absorption coefficient and the thickness of the target container.

[0045] For example, the linear absorption coefficient of the target container and the thickness of the target container are obtained, the linear absorption coefficient of the target container characterizes the linear attenuation coefficient of the radioactive rays of the target radioactive material caused by the material corresponding to the target container; and the absorption factor of the target container is determined according to the linear absorption coefficient of the target container and the thickness of the target container.

[0046] For example, the absorption factor ε2 of the target container can be determined by the following formula:

[0047]

[0048] wherein ε2 is the absorption factor of the target container, μ 容 is the linear absorption coefficient of the material corresponding to the target container, and the linear absorption coefficient can be obtained through a preset material-linear absorption coefficient correspondence relationship, d 容 is the thickness of the target container, and the absorption factor of the shielding medium corresponding to the target radioactive material can be determined through the above formula. For example, in the case of a standard waste barrel, the barrel wall material of the waste barrel is stainless steel, so the μ 容 may be the linear absorption coefficient of iron, and the barrel wall thickness is generally between 0.8mm-2mm, and 2mm is used for calculation here, that is, the absorption factor of the target container is:

[0049]

[0050] In this way, by respectively calculating the absorption factor of the shielding medium of the target radioactive material and the absorption factor of the target container, the accuracy of determining the radioactivity of the target radioactive material is improved.

[0051] S102, determining the radioactivity of the target radioactive material according to the absorption factor of the shielding medium and the absorption factor of the target container.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the net count rate of the full-energy peak of each of the multiple target radioactive materials can first be determined by a preset detector; then the detection efficiency of the preset detector and the geometric factor of the target container are obtained, the geometric factor being a coefficient representing the influence of the shape of the container on the detection results; finally, the radioactivity of the target radioactive material is determined based on the detection efficiency, the absorption factor of the shielding medium, the absorption factor of the target container, and the geometric factor of the target container.

[0053] The preset detector has different detection efficiencies for each of the multiple target radioactive objects. The detection efficiency can be determined by a preset correspondence between target radioactive objects and detection efficiency. The geometric factor is determined by the shape of the target container. Different shapes correspond to different geometric factors. The geometric factor can be determined by a preset correspondence between geometric factors. For example, for a standard cylindrical 200L waste bin with a fixed shape, the geometric factor is 0.823.

[0054] For example, the radioactivity of the target radioactive material can be determined using the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] Among them, A i Characterizing the radioactivity of the i-th target radioactive material among the multiple target radioactive materials, the n i The full-energy peak net count rate of the i-th target radioactive object among the multiple target radioactive objects is represented by B, which represents the branching ratio of the γ-rays emitted by the target radioactive object. The γ-ray branching ratio of the target radioactive object is determined by the nuclide of the target radioactive object. Different nuclides correspond to different γ-ray branching ratios, which are inherent properties of the target radioactive object and can be determined by a preset γ-ray branching ratio correspondence. ε1 represents the absorption factor of the shielding medium corresponding to the target radioactive object. ε2 represents the absorption factor of the target container. ε3 represents the detection efficiency of the preset detector for the target radioactive object. f represents the geometric factor of the target container.

[0057] The absorption factor of the shielding medium corresponding to each target radioactive material in the plurality of target radioactive materials in the target container and the absorption factor of the target container are obtained by the above method, the absorption factor representing the absorption efficiency of the radioactive rays of the target radioactive material; and the radioactivity of the target radioactive material is determined according to the absorption factor of the shielding medium and the absorption factor of the target container. In this way, by determining the absorption factor corresponding to each target radioactive material in the plurality of target radioactive materials, and determining the radioactivity of the target radioactive material according to the absorption factor of the shielding medium and the absorption factor of the target container, the problem of poor accuracy of the radioactivity analysis result caused by the non-uniform radioactivity of the plurality of target radioactive materials is avoided, and the accuracy of the radioactivity measurement result when the plurality of target radioactive materials are non-uniform radioactive sources can be effectively improved.

[0058] In addition, after determining the radioactivity of each target radioactive material in the plurality of target radioactive materials in the target container, the total radioactivity of the plurality of target radioactive materials can also be determined to further improve the accuracy of the measurement.

[0059] In some embodiments, the total radioactivity of the plurality of target radioactive materials can be determined by the specific activity of the plurality of target radioactive materials.

[0060] For example, the mass of the plurality of target radioactive materials can be obtained; and the specific activity of the plurality of target radioactive materials is determined according to the radioactivity and mass of the plurality of target radioactive materials.

[0061] For example, the specific activity of the plurality of target radioactive materials can be calculated by the following formula:

[0062]

[0063] wherein the A 总 is the sum of the radioactivity of the plurality of target radioactive materials, and the m is the mass of the plurality of target radioactive materials.

[0064] wherein the sum of the radioactivity of the plurality of target radioactive materials can be calculated by the following formula:

[0065] A 总 = A1+A2+…+A n

[0066] wherein the A1 to A n respectively represent the radioactivity of the first target radioactive material to the radioactivity of the nth target radioactive material;

[0067] The mass of the plurality of target radioactive materials can be obtained by obtaining the total mass of the target radioactive material and the container, and the mass of the container; and the mass of the target radioactive material is determined according to the total mass and the mass of the container.

[0068] For example, the mass of the plurality of target radioactive materials can be calculated by the following formula:

[0069] m = m 总 -m 容器

[0070] wherein the m is the mass of the plurality of target radioactive materials, the m 总 is the total mass of the target radioactive material and the container, the m 容器 is the mass of the target container.

[0071] In this way, by determining the sum of the mass and the radioactivity of the plurality of target radioactive materials respectively by the above method, and further determining the specific activity of the plurality of target radioactive materials, the accuracy of the measurement result can be effectively improved.

[0072] In order to further illustrate the above embodiment, according to the actual production situation, the application further provides an embodiment:

[0073] An IGS (Integral Gamma Scanning) is used to analyze a 200L radioactive waste barrel with a total weight of 299.3kg. The barrel wall of the waste barrel is stainless steel with a wall thickness of 2mm. A high-purity germanium detector is used to measure that 137 the 661KeV full-energy peak count of Cs is n0, then 137 The radioactivity of Cs can be calculated according to the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] wherein n0 is the measured value 57.68cps, the value of B is 137 the branching ratio of Cs at 661KeV is 0.851, ε3 is the intrinsic detection efficiency of the source to the detector, which is simulated by MCNP (Monte Carlo N Particle Transport Code, a general software package based on the Monte Carlo method for calculating neutron, photon, electron or coupled neutron / photon / electron transport problems in three-dimensional complex geometric structures) and the value is 4.07E-05, ε2 is the absorption factor of the barrel wall, which is calculated by using the linear attenuation coefficient of iron and the above formula of ε2, and the value is 1.36, f is the geometric factor of the standard shape of the radioactive waste barrel, and ε1 is the absorption factor of the shielding medium, which is calculated according to the linear attenuation coefficient of the preset medium and the above formula of ε1, and the value is 5.74. According to the specific activity formula, the following Table 1 can be obtained:

[0076]

[0077] Table 1

[0078] As can be seen from Table 1, the radioactive activity measurement method according to the present scheme has smaller relative deviation of radioactive activity and specific activity than related art, and is more accurate.
