Abstract:A new wiping device for detecting removable contamination was developed. A cylindrical plastic scintillator (PS) is applied to a roller device. A wiping material wraps around the cylindrical PS roller, and then the roller is used for wiping to detect removable contamination (PS method). After contamination on the floor is wiped off using the roller, the wrapped PS is removed from the roller and placed in a glass vial for use in a liquid scintillation counter (LSC). The vial is measured by LSC without liquid sc… Show more
