Novel Coincidence Techniques, Detectors and Concepts for Safety, Security and Safeguards

Abstract

Research and development (R&D) projects are used to maintain and improve STUK's ability to act and advice other competent authorities correctly in conditions involving nuclear and other radioactive materials. Examples from recent or ongoing in-field and laboratory R&D projects are given. All projects introduced are related to passive detection of alpha particle emitting nuclides or neutron sources.
