Title:
RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE DETECTION DEVICE, RADIATION SOURCE LOCATION VISIBILITY SYSTEM, AND RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE DETECTION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/105519
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a radioactive substance detection device (2), with which a radioactive substance which radiates gamma rays and characteristic x-rays being present in a specified direction (Y) is detected, said device comprising: a radiation detection element (26) which stops and detects entering radiation; and a screening container (25) and a collimator (21) which screen out and prevent radiation from reaching the radiation detection element (26). The radiation detection element (26) has a thickness which stops and detects characteristic x-rays which arrive from the radioactive substance being present in the specified direction (Y), and which allows gamma rays arriving from the radioactive substance to pass through. The thickness of an interim part (23) between holes (22) of the screening container (25) and the collimator (21) screens out characteristic x-rays of radiation which arrives from directions other than the specified direction (Y), and allows gamma rays of the radiation which arrives from the directions other than the specified direction (Y) to pass through. It is thus possible to provide a radioactive substance detection device, a radiation source location visibility system, and a radioactive substance detection method, which have substantially lower weight and with which sufficient performance may be obtained.
