INL Innovation Spotlight Advanced Radiation Monitoring: Fieldable Long-Length Scintillating Fibers

INL Innovation Spotlight Advanced Radiation Monitoring: Fieldable Long-Length Scintillating Fibers This technology uses durable, long scintillating fibers combined with regular optical fibers for effective and extensive radiation detection and monitoring in tough environments. Overview: Radiation monitoring in hard-to-reach areas, such as nuclear repositories, waste facilities, and medical irradiation therapy facilities, presents significant challenges. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recognizes the crucial need for advanced tools to protect these sensitive sites. This technology utilizes long-length scintillating fibers, exceeding 10 meters, combined with standard optical fibers longer than 100 meters. It offers an efficient solution for monitoring vast and inaccessible area
