Kromek and the Physics Department at the University of York propose the research and development of a high integrity, low cost charged particle detector; based on flexible, thin film printed photo-detector technology.This novel sensor is specifically aimed at applications in nuclear decommissioning, including decontamination, decommissioning and dismantling. The technique will address the specific problem of assessing radioactive contamination in narrow pipe work, where a highly flexible sensor offers the potential for 360 degree coverage.There is currently no efficent cost effective method of measureing alpha particles from contaminated pipework.The alpha detector technology will be based on existing flexible photo-detector technologies developed at the University of York, as well as exploiting recent development in Kromek’s TSB funded programme for developing conformable gamma ray detectors.

Kromek和约克大学物理系提出研究和开发一种高完整性、低成本的带电粒子探测器;基于柔性薄膜印刷光电探测器技术。这种新型传感器专门针对核退役的应用，包括去污、退役和拆除。该技术将解决评估狭窄管道中放射性污染的具体问题，其中高度灵活的传感器提供了360度覆盖的潜力。目前还没有有效的成本效益方法来测量污染管道中的α粒子。α探测器技术将基于约克大学开发的现有柔性光电探测器技术，以及利用Kromek的TSB资助的开发一致的伽马射线探测器的计划的最新发展。
