Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种核辐射探测技术,特别是一种利用总α计数快速测量空气中222Rn、220Rn子体浓度的方法。The invention relates to a nuclear radiation detection technology, in particular to a method for quickly measuring the concentration of 222 Rn and 220 Rn daughters in the air by using the total alpha count.
背景技术 Background technique
近年来,随着人们对222Rn、220Rn及其子体研究的深入,发现在有的环境中220Rn及其子体所致剂量不可忽略且其对222Rn及其子体测量造成干扰。由于222Rn、220Rn的衰变子体的辐射剂量远远高于氡本身,加之220Rn及其子体的平衡关系随时间、地点是变化的,仅仅根据222Rn、220Rn水平的测量结果来估算222Rn、220Rn及其子体所产生的剂量是不够的。为了更加准确地评价222Rn、220Rn的危害,有必要对环境空气中222Rn、220Rn子体的水平进行同时测量。以往同时测量222Rn、220Rn子体水平的方法主要有三段法和五段法,此类测量方法属于总α方法,要么测量时间较长,要么测量误差较大。近年来α能谱法区分能量的优点在222Rn和220Rn子体水平测量中得到了运用,实现了空气中222Rn和220Rn子体水平快速、可靠测量。但是能谱仪价格昂贵,且多道能谱仪的道漂是不可避免的。In recent years, with the in-depth research on 222 Rn, 220 Rn and their progeny, it is found that in some environments the dose caused by 220 Rn and its progeny cannot be ignored and it interferes with the measurement of 222 Rn and its progeny. Since the radiation dose of the decay daughters of 222 Rn and 220 Rn is much higher than that of radon itself, and the balance relationship between 220 Rn and its daughters changes with time and place, only based on the measurement results of the levels of 222 Rn and 220 Rn Estimating the doses from 222 Rn, 220 Rn and their progeny is not sufficient. In order to evaluate the hazards of 222 Rn and 220 Rn more accurately, it is necessary to simultaneously measure the levels of 222Rn and 220 Rn daughters in the ambient air. In the past, the methods for simultaneously measuring the levels of 222 Rn and 220 Rn daughters mainly included the three-stage method and the five-stage method. This kind of measurement method belongs to the total α method, and either the measurement time is long or the measurement error is large. In recent years, the advantages of α-spectroscopy in differentiating energy have been used in the measurement of 222 Rn and 220 Rn daughter levels, and the rapid and reliable measurement of 222 Rn and 220 Rn daughter levels in the air has been realized. But the energy spectrometer is expensive, and the channel drift of the multi-channel energy spectrometer is inevitable.
发明内容 Contents of the invention
本发明的目的是克服现有技术的上述不足而提供一种根据222Rn、220Rn子体放射性衰变特性,对采样后222Rn、220Rn子体样品的放射性衰变产生的高能α粒子总计数随时间变化的规律进行测量,应用两种不同的测量方法得到222Rn、220Rn子体浓度。The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiency of prior art and provide a kind of according to 222 Rn, 220 Rn daughter body radioactive decay characteristic, the high-energy α particle total count that the radioactive decay of 222 Rn, 220 Rn daughter body sample after sampling produces Time-varying laws were measured, and the concentrations of 222 Rn and 220 Rn progeny were obtained by using two different measurement methods.

在222Rn子体衰变链中,有剂量学意义的是RaA(218Po)、RaB(214Pb)、RaC(214Bi),由于RaC’(214Po)的半衰期很短,只有164μs,因此将RaC’的放射性归结为RaC的放射性;在220Rn子体衰变链中,有剂量学意义的是ThB(212Pb)、ThC(212Bi),将ThC’(212Po)、ThC’’(208Tl)的放射性归结为ThC(212Bi)的放射性。In the decay chain of 222 Rn progeny, the dosimetrically significant ones are RaA ( 218 Po), RaB ( 214 Pb), RaC ( 214 Bi). Since the half-life of RaC' ( 214 Po) is very short, only 164 μs, it will The radioactivity of RaC' is attributed to the radioactivity of RaC; in the decay chain of 220 Rn progeny, ThB ( 212 Pb) and ThC ( 212 Bi) are dosimetrically significant, and ThC' ( 212 Po), ThC'' ( 208 The radioactivity of Tl) is attributed to the radioactivity of ThC ( 212 Bi).
