With the ever growing need in nuclear decommissioning and nuclear nuclear forensics, alpha detection is important for safety. Currently there are commercial detectors that are required for personnel to be very close to sources due to alpha particles very short mean free path. This puts the personnel in danger, requiring PPE, and creates risk for the detector to be contaminated if it accidentally touches the alpha source. As such, a demand for a long range scanner for alpha radiation sources is constantly increasing. This project will be investigating and developing a long ranged alpha radiation detector.

随着核退役和核取证需求的不断增长，α探测对安全至关重要。由于α粒子的平均自由程非常短，目前有一些商用探测器需要工作人员非常接近源。这使工作人员处于危险之中，需要PPE，并且如果探测器意外接触α源，则会造成探测器被污染的风险。因此，对用于α辐射源的长距离扫描仪的需求不断增加。该项目将研究和开发一种远程α辐射探测器。
