The Threshold of Detection of Fission Materials by ZnWO4 and Bi4Ge3O12 Scintillation Detectors

In the present work we found the maximum discovery distance for 239Pu-Be source using the detectors based on ZWO (ZnWO4) and BGO (Bi4Ge3O12) oxide scintillators. Detection distance was defined by using the radiation monitoring system ”PORTAL”. This research gives us data for estimation of the contri...
