Feasibility study on the application of solid state tracks detectors for fast surveys of residual alpha contamination in decommissioning activities
A feasibility study concerning the application of Poly-Allyl-Diglycol Carbonate (CR-39TM) solid state tracks detectors for fast survey of residual alpha contamination has been carried out at Casaccia Research Center, as a joint effort from ENEA, Sogin, and Sapienza University of Rome. The main target of the ac- tivity is to develop and set up a fast and economic method for assessing the presence of residual ura- nium, plutonium, and/or mixed oxides (MOX) traces on walls, floor, furniture, and small objects (PC- displays, keyboards, tools, etc.) of hot laboratories under decommissioning.
