研究目的
To design and optimize a Tomographic Gamma Scanning (TGS) collimator using Monte Carlo methods for improved performance in detecting radioactive waste.
研究成果
Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out to design a collimator to improve the performance of a TGS system. The simulation results reveal that a collimator aperture radius of 3.1 cm and depth of 18.6 cm achieve the highest sensitivity when the FWHM is chosen to be 26.7cm. Furthermore, the simulation indicates that a rotated hexagon is the optimal shape.
研究不足
The study is limited by the computational resources required for Monte Carlo simulations and the specific geometry of the TGS system, which may not be directly applicable to other systems without modification.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Monte Carlo simulations were used to design and optimize the TGS collimator. The simulations involved building an accurate TGS model and optimizing the collimator's radius, depth, and shape.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study utilized a model based on the experimental system developed by the group at Chengdu University of Technology, including a GEM50P4-83 detector and a 10 mCi 152Eu transmission source.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The equipment included a GEM50P4-83 detector produced by ORTEC, a 10 mCi 152Eu transmission source, and lead collimators. National standard 200-L waste drums filled with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastics (ABS) were used.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The simulations were performed using the Monte Carlo code MCNP5 to calculate the HPGe detector efficiency. The pulse-height tally (F8) per photon emitted from the source gives the absolute efficiency.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The simulated spectrum was binned with an energy window of 0.25 keV to mimic the experimental one. The full energy peak in the simulated spectra was treated as a Gaussian with the FWHM determined from the measured spectrum.
