Development of Automatic Measuring Device for External Surface Radiation of Waste Drum
As an important container for storing radioactive waste in nuclear facilities,the external surface of the waste barrel may becontaminated during storageand transportation,and regular test is required to ensure that the radiation lev-el is in a safe range.In this paper,an automatic measuring device is designed and developed,which can detect the radiation level on the surface of waste drum quickly and accurately,and realize automatic data recording and processing.The devel-opment of thedeviceentails mechanical structuredesign,hardware system design,softwaredesign and so on.Theexperi-mental results show that the device can meet the requirements of field applications and provide technical support for the safe management of waste drums.
