  • Radioactive substance detection device, radiation source location visibility system, and radioactive substance detection method
    Patent number: 9488602
    Abstract: A radioactive substance detection device that detects a radioactive substance being present in a specified direction. A radiation detection element having a thickness that stops and detects a characteristic X-ray arriving from a radioactive substance being present in the specified direction that radiates both gamma rays and the characteristic X-rays, and allows the gamma ray arriving from the radioactive substance to pass through. A screening body having a thickness that screens out characteristic X-rays of radiation which arrives from directions other than the specified direction and allows gamma rays of radiation which arrives from directions other than the specified direction to pass through.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 12, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 8, 2016
    Assignee: National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology
    Inventors: Shingo Kobayashi, Yukio Uchihori, Yoshiyuki Shirakawa
