Abstract:For the purpose of determining a surface deposition density on soil for radio-cesiums, a CdZnTe (CZT) semiconductor detector whose crystal has dimensions of 1 cm cubic was applied to the in situ environmental radioactivity measurement in deeply contaminated areas in Fukushima region. Even in highdose rate areas where pulse height spectra weren't able to be properly obtained by the conventional high-purity Ge (Hp-Ge) semiconductor detector, proper pulse height spectra were obtained by the CZT detector with cert… Show more
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.
