Abstract
Aerosol filtration was studied to improve U.S. Radionuclide Monitoring Station (RMS) performance for Nuclear-Treaty-Verification. We characterized the performance of three filter materials which employed electrostatically charged filter fibers to enhance nanoparticle collection. Particle-pre-charging, a well-established industrial technique, was tested and enhanced aerosol collection efficiencies. Test results indicated it may be possible to reduce baseline radionuclide sensitivity to approximately 55–60% of current values by increasing the volume of air sampled. Engineering analysis suggested that particle-pre-charging may be a viable technical approach for fielded RMS systems.
