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，这在以前是无法实时实现的。2)测量气态氚至自由释放水平。这是各种核机构，包括核聚变工业感兴趣的。我们已经有很多来自日本的兴趣，他们有福岛核设施遗留下来的氚化水。目前的技术意味着必须从河流、湖泊和海洋的流出物中提取样本，然后在实验室进行分析。BIC技术公司利用有限的资源，与国家物理实验室密切合作，制作了能够连续检测水中低水平排放物的原型。由于探测器的设计和构建，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，只需进行微小的修改。Innovate UK的协助将使我们能够进行进一步的类型测试和定量分析。这可能会导致便携式和安装设备的制造，以达到这一目的，并解决国际市场。如果我们的仪器处于所需的低水平，我们明天就能接到订单。核许可场址将受益于这些场址采用的现有技术的长期成本节约，并为紧急情况（例如泄漏到海洋或地下水位）提供即时警报。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种联系。该项目将对就业和学徒产生积极影响，并使英国供应商受益

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 \*
