APPLICATION OF INFRARED IMAGING TO DETECT AND VISUALIZE SOURCES OF RADIOACTIVE RADIATION
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The application of thermal images for visualization of small-sized, masked sources of radioactive radiation by the heating of objects caused by them as a result of heat release during radioactive decay is considered. The acquisition of IR images of a thermal imitator of a radioactive source is simulated. Known applications of thermal imagers for remote visualization of radioactive sources are analyzed. IR images of fragments of irradiated fuel elements are presented.

Keywords:
thermal imager, sources of radioactive radiation, infrared images
