The PhD project will conduct a detailed investigation into the development and optimisation of integrated micro-sized gamma spectrometry instrumentation for use as part of a robot arm mounted radiation scanning system. The project will also investigate the use of miniaturised and radiation hard coincident laser profiling systems to topographically map target objects or scenes. The aim of the project is to conduct fundamental and applied research towards an advanced automated ability to map the radiation energy and intensity (and dose) on the external surfaces of Intermediate Level Nuclear Waste (ILW) packages and thereby produce a map which can indicate the presence of contained highly radioactive material e.g. fuel carry-over or cladding sections, close to the package walls. Simultaneously the system will also produce a digital topographic model of the package surfaces highlighting any distortions that may have arisen from corrosion related swelling/expansion of materials inside.The project will make use of Kuka Robotic Arm systems already housed at the UoB, utilising the Fenswood Farm research site where laser and radioactive work can be undertaking inside a robot safety enclosure.

博士项目将对集成微型伽玛能谱仪的开发和优化进行详细的研究，该仪器将用作安装在机械臂上的辐射扫描系统的一部分。该项目还将研究使用小型化和辐射硬同步激光剖面系统对目标物体或场景进行地形图绘制。该项目的目的是进行基础和应用研究，以实现先进的自动化能力，绘制中间水平核废料（ILW）包装外表面的辐射能量和强度（和剂量），从而绘制出可以表明存在高放射性物质的地图，例如燃料携带或包层部分，靠近包装壁。同时，该系统还将生成封装表面的数字地形模型，突出显示可能由内部材料的腐蚀相关膨胀/膨胀引起的任何扭曲。该项目将利用已经安置在大华大学的库卡机械臂系统，利用芬斯伍德农场研究基地，激光和放射性工作可以在机器人安全罩内进行。
