| Research Abstract |
The measurement of radiation rays measures it by an electric signal. Therefore, malfunction occurs in a nuclear reactor and high electromagnetic wave environment, and the correct measurement is impossible. This study studied the system that the radiation ray measurement was possible in these environmental bottoms.
An electromagnetic wave disorder and no inductivity, signal transmission of a noise are wide bands, and, as for the optical fiber, there are thinness of shape and flexibility many advantages at a low loss, the insulation characteristics for an electric characteristic, light weight.
When radiation rays were irradiated to optical fiber, a problem has outbreak of the fluorescence by optical fiber materials, a loss of transmission. This study studied influence of the fluorescence when radiation rays were irradiated to optical fiber.An optical fiber cable is in proportion to length (area) that radiation rays are irradiated and a signal of a background is counted. We adopted Plastic scintillation detector (YAP) which was superior in an afterglow characteristic to a fluorescent substance to join to optical fiber for the purpose of removing this influence and evaluated it. YAP scintillation detector has a very short decrement time of the fluorescence with 27(nsec). I use this afterglow characteristic and remove a signal of a fluorescence background by radiation rays being irradiated to optical fiber. I built more cut-off level adjustment devices in a measurement circuit newly. By adjustment of cut-off level, I removed a background signal from optical fiber. I could improve a dose of radioactivity rate characteristic of a measurement system, and a free air ionization chamber and equal measured value were provided.
