The portable Ñéê device was designed for the ecological monitoring of the radiation of alpha radioactive nuclides, such as plutonium, uranium, radium, etc. Under field conditions, it can detect alpha emitters at distances of up to 0.5 m. The device's performance data are as follows: the lower threshold of the particle energy is 0.2 MeV, single measurement time is no more than 10 s, and the minimum detectable activity is 1000 Bq.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
