Abstract

Currently, spectrometers are almost used for spectrum measuring of low-dose-rate radiation. Therefore, the sensitive volume of the spectrometer detector is usually big, and the width of the nuclear pulse is often wide. The pulse throughput of the spectrometer does not have to be very high. However, if a nuclear accident or a nuclear burst occurs, the dose rate will be high. When we measure the spectrum of the radiation, pulses output from the spectrometer detector will pile up seriously. The current spectrometer cannot meet the needs of high-dose-rate radiation energy spectrum measurement. To solve the problem of spectrum measuring of high-dose-rate radiation, in this paper, a solution of measuring the gamma spectrum of high-dose-rate radiation is put forward, and many measures are taken, such as lessening the detector volume, detector shielding, narrowing down the nuclear pulse width, pulse anti-pileup, and increasing the pulse throughput of the multi-channel analyzer through FPGA parallel processing. Analysis design and experiment show that the gamma spectrum of high-dose-rate radiation can be measured through these measures.
