In Canada, the possession and use of nuclear substances and radiation devices are regulated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) in accordance with the Nuclear Safety and Control Act (NSCA), its associated Regulations and CNSC licences. Under certain circumstances the possession, use, transfer, import, export, servicing, abandonment and storage of nuclear substances and radiation […]
The purpose of sealed source leak testing is to determine, qualitatively, the integrity of a sealed source capsule by measuring for the presence of alpha or beta radiation using gas flow proportional counting. All sealed source leak testing is performed in accordance with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s Licence Application Guide: Nuclear Substances and Radiation […]
Instruments that detect gamma or neutron radiation can be calibrated in BTI’s facilities. Gamma calibrations are performed using 137Cs sources. Neutron calibrations are performed using 252Cf sources. All calibrations and verifications of calibrations are traceable to the SI through the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) or the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). […]
The BDR-III Automatic Bubble Detector Reader is an affordable solution for automatic counting of large numbers of bubble detectors. The BDR-III provides bar code-ready, fully automated counting with machine vision technology that generates database-compatible files in a compact, simple-to-use instrument. To allow the user to verify the proper operation of the BDR-III, a calibration detector […]
The BDR-III automatic bubble detector reader was specially designed for fast and accurate analysis of the complete range of BTI’s neutron bubble detectors. Bubble detectors consist of an elastic polymer throughout which droplets of a superheated liquid have been dispersed. When these droplets are struck by neutrons, they form small gas bubbles that remain fixed […]
The BDS (Bubble Detector Spectrometer) is based on specially formulated bubble detectors that have different neutron energy thresholds. Similar to fast-neutron activation detectors, the measured spectrum from the BDS is derived by “unfolding” the response of the different detectors of the BDS. The BDS provides spectra in six energy bins. It has two very important […]
Bubble detectors are the most sensitive, accurate, neutron dosimeters available and have been used for over 25 years by nuclear facilities, research institutes, military personnel, and the medical community. Bubble detectors provide instant visible detection and measurement of neutron dose. Inside the detector, tiny droplets of superheated liquid are dispersed throughout a clear polymer. When […]
