The main purpose of this system is to enable the laboratory to identify both qualitatively and quantitatively many alpha-emitting radionuclides from natural and/or artificial origin. For instance, uranium isotopes (234U, 235U, and 238U), plutonium isotopes (238Pu and 239+240Pu), and polonium (210Po) could be assessed via this technique following a radiochemical separation.
The above-mentioned isotopes are closely linked to many human illegal activities including smuggling, theft, terrorism, etc. They should be accurately assessed in order to establish and develop the right decision.
Comprehensive training should be provided in association with this system in order to assess the radionuclides of interest efficiently. Qualified personnel (science or engineering degrees) are supposed to receive the proposed training.
The following is a description of the alpha spectrometry system that needs to be supplied in order to achieve the above-mentioned goal
