Patent number: 9570205Abstract: A radiation monitoring device comprises a radiation monitor and a test unit for testing the radiation monitor. The radiation monitor includes a radiation detector and a measurement unit. The test unit includes a test pulse generator and a test pulse controller. The measurement unit includes a counter circuit, a computing part that computes a count rate with the standard deviation kept constant, an input switching circuit. When a test mode is selected in the radiation monitor, the test pulse controller changes the repetition frequency of test pulses in a step-function manner to the same repetition frequency of a start count rate specified as reference, replaces a count rate in the computing part at current computing cycle with the start count rate, switches the input switching circuit to the test pulse input at next computing cycle to start the test, and then finishes the test after a predetermined time elapses.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Shohei Katayama, Kenichi Moteki

Patent number: 9476864Abstract: A shield has a detector installing hole having a central axis orthogonal to a central axis of a detection tube. A radiation sensor of a columnar scintillation detector to which a low concentration side measurement range within all required measurement ranges is allocated is arranged inside the detector installing hole. An ionization chamber to which a high concentration side measurement range is allocated is arranged side by side in parallel with the detection tube. The measurement range of the columnar scintillation detector and the measurement range of the ionization chamber are adjusted so as to be overlapped with each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Shohei Katayama, Kenichi Moteki
