  • Patent number: 8847171
    Abstract: The invention provides a device for the detection and mapping of radiation, the device comprising a polymeric core (18) located within an external shell material (1), wherein the polymeric core comprises a plurality of stacked polymeric sheets comprising at least one radiation sensitive component which is sensitive to said radiation emitted by said radioactive materials and the external sheath comprises a collimation sheath (1). Preferably, the polymeric core comprises a cubic, cylindrical, spherical or truncated spherical shape which is encased within the external shell. The external shell is preferably comprised of a metal, most preferably tungsten.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 28, 2011
    Date of Patent: September 30, 2014
    Assignee: National Nuclear Laboratory Limited
    Inventors: Steven John Stanley, John Horsfall

  • Publication number: 20120138806
    Abstract: The invention provides a device for the detection of elevated levels of radiation in remote locations, the device comprising a scintillator crystal and a variable length fibre optic cable. Preferably, the scintillator comprises an inorganic scintillator and the fibre optic cable comprises a metal coated fibre optic cable. The device preferably also comprises a light measurement device which co-operates with recording means such that the radiation levels of the environment in which the device is deployed may be determined. The device has potential widespread application in the nuclear industry, for the monitoring of products, processes and/or facilities that exhibit very high levels of radiation.
