Further development of a unique dual-purpose real-time monitor of Tritium (Beta radiation) in Air & Tritium in Water at environmental levels.

该项目旨在开发一系列产品，用于1)评估水中的放射性水平，这是以前无法实时实现的。2)测量低至自由释放水平的气态氚。这是包括核聚变工业在内的各种核设施的兴趣所在。我们已经从日本得到了很多兴趣，在那里他们从福岛核设施中得到了氚水形式的遗产。目前的技术意味着样品必须从污水-河流、湖泊和海洋中提取，然后在实验室进行分析。BIC技术凭借有限的资源和与国家物理实验室的密切合作，已经制造出能够连续检测水中低水平贝塔排放物的原型。由于探测器的设计和制造，我们能够使用相同的设备(专利技术)来测量空气样品和液体样品，只需稍作修改。英国创新公司的帮助将使我们能够进行进一步所需的测试，以进行类型测试和定量分析。这可能导致制造用于这一目的的便携式和安装设备，并面向国际市场。如果我们有必要的低水平工作仪器，我们明天就会收到订单。获得核许可的地点将受益于这些地点所采用的当前技术的长期成本节约，并为紧急情况提供即时警报，例如泄漏到海里或地下水位。BIC Technology已经与学术机构建立了牢固的联系，我们希望通过资助研究生项目来扩大这一点。该项目将对就业和学徒制产生积极影响，使英国供应商受益\*

This project aims to develop a range of products for 1) assessing levels of radioactivity in water which have previously been unachievable in real-time. 2) Measurement of Gaseous Tritium down to free release levels. This is of interest to various nuclear establishments, including the Nuclear Fusion industry.We already have a lot of interest from Japan where they have a legacy from the Fukashima nuclear facility was in the form of Tritiated water. Current technology means that samples have to be taken from effluent -- rivers, lakes & sea , then analysed in a Laboratory.BIC Technology with limited resources and working closely with the National Physical Laboratory have made prototypes capable of achieving detection of low levels of beta emitters in water continuously.Because of the design and build of the detector we are able to use the same device (patented technology) for measuring air samples & liquid samples with minor modifications.Assistance from Innovate UK will enable us to carry out further required tests for type testing & quantitative analysis. This could lead to the manufacturing of portable & installed equipment for this purpose and address an international market. We would get orders tomorrow if we had a working instrument at the required low levels.Nuclear licensed sites would benefit from long term cost savings of the current technology employed by these sites and provide instant alerts for emergency situations e.g. leakage in to the sea or water table.BIC Technology already have strong links with Academic institutions, which we would hope to expand on by funding post graduate projects. The project will have a positive effect on employment & apprenticeships with benefits to UK suppliers \*
