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.

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.

The invention relates to a method of measuring or detecting an unkown distribution and content of solid material in a flow of liquid and gas, without any calibration. One or several activated probes emitting radiation are used. The radiation is measured by a detector on the outside of the pipe. Each probe emits radiation only to one detector. The probes are mounted apart both lengthwise and across the pipe section. The probes are mounted with an angle alpha to the fluid flow, 20 DEG

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à mesurer ou à détecter, sans étalonnage, un contenu et une distribution inconnus d'une matière solide dans un flux de liquide ou de gaz. L'on utilise une ou plusieurs sondes activées qui émettent des radiations. Les radiations sont mesurées par un détecteur situé à l'extérieur du tuyau. Chaque sonde n'émet des radiations que vers un seul détecteur. Les sondes sont montées séparément à la fois dans le sens longitudinal et dans le sens transversal de la section de tuyau. Les sondes sont montées à un angle alpha relatif au flux de fluide, 20°

Apparatus and methods for identifying the nature of an unidentified substrate present in trace amounts of known gaseous or liquid media such as air or water include collecting a sample of the substance in the media, filtering and concentrating the sample, depositing at least a portion of the sample on a known substrate, analyzing the deposited sample utilizing SETM, NFOM and/or AFM techniques to form one or more images characteristic of the unidentified substance, and then identifying the substance by comparing the images so obtained to images of known substances obtained using the same techniques.
