    摘要: The invention relates to the field of verification or calibration of radiation protection. The invention solves the problem that the on-site and in-situ verification or calibration is relatively difficult as the existing standard reference radiation field is large in spatial volume and is unable or difficult to be moved, and provides an air kerma conventional true value measuring method. The technical solution of the method can be summarized as: constructing a small-scale reference radiation field, then selecting a proper radiation source and source strength for providing incident rays for a shielding box, subsequently selecting a plurality of gamma ray dose measurement instruments as experiment samples for establishing a prediction model to obtain the prediction model of the air kerma conventional true value of a check point, finally putting a probe of an instrument to be detected at the check point, recording scattering gamma spectra measured by a gamma spectrometer, and introducing the scattering gamma spectra into the prediction model to obtain the air kerma conventional true value. The method has the beneficial effects that the result is accurate, the reference radiation field used is small in size, and is applicable to the measurement of the air kerma conventional true value.

    摘要: A method for the inspection of contained flowable materials within containers, such as detecting an explosive liquid in a luggage, and an apparatus for performing the method are described. The method includes the steps of: - performing a radiation scan, using X-rays or Gamma rays, of a target item container of contained flowable material in a radiation scanning system to derive a spatially distributed and spectroscopically resolved measured dataset of the intensity of radiation emergent from the target item; - considering the spatially distributed and spectroscopically resolved dataset of transmitted radiation intensity to be nominally determined in accordance with a relationship: [Ο] • [δ] = [λ] where the operators [δ] and [λ] definie, respectively, physical parameters describing the liquid and the container and the system response and the operator [Ο] defines the relationships between the system response and the liquid and container parameters; - numerically processing the measured dataset by operator inversion in order to derive a best fit solution of: [δ] = [Ο]
    -
    1 • [λ]; and - using that derived solution to determine the threat status of the target item.
