Tungsten Alloy Nuclear Radiation Detector

Tungsten alloy nuclear radiation detector, also known as tungsten alloy detecting element, is used to detect nuclear radiation and its properties(including the types, strength ,the energy and nuclear lifetime of nuclear radiation) by utilizing radiation rays to interact with substances to induce a series of effects(such as luminescence phenomenon, ionization effect, physical and chemical changes).It usually made up of a detector, a display unit, a measuring element and a power source, and mainly includes semiconductor detector, gas ionization detector and scintillation detector. Tungsten alloy nuclear radiation detector is widely used in public places, laboratories, quarries, metal processing plants, oil fields and oil pipeline equipment and other departments, for inspection of the radioactivity of underground drill pipe and equipment and building materials, local radiation leakage and contamination and landfill and garbage dump which has the risk of nuclear radiation.

Nuclear radiation, also known as ionization radiation, is a microscopic particle released from the process of a nucleus changes from a structure (or an energy state) to another kind of structure (or another energy state) to cause ionization or excitation material. The types of nuclear radiation include gamma rays, α rays and βrays. Gamma ray is extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation and thus consists of high-energy photons. It is penetrating, and can lead to damage at a cellular level, resulting in diffuse damage throughout the body;α rays are generally produced in the process ofα decay. It can enter the body to destroy the human tissues by being inhaled, ingested or injected, αradiation is the most destructive form of ionizing radiation; β rays are able to penetrate living tissues to a certain extent and can change the structure of struck molecules(such as DNA molecules). In most cases, such change can be considered to be damage, with results possibly as severe as cancer or death.

Tungsten alloy nuclear radiation detector uses the tungsten alloy material with high density. Because the radiation shielding capability of a metal material increases with the increasing of its density, so the tungsten alloy nuclear radiation detector has excellent radiation shielding capability. When using a tungsten alloy nuclear radiation detector, the tungsten alloy can absorb and shield the nuclear radiation in a high degree to avoid them doing harm to human body while reaching the goal of nuclear radiation detection.
