Abstract

On-site measurements are indispensable to swiftly and precisely evaluate the magnitude of radioactive contamination triggered by a nuclear accident or terrorist attack in the ocean. Consequently, an on-line monitoring device for marine radioactive pollution has been developed. A plastic scintillator was used as the detector of the device, and a pump was used to extract the seawater around the measuring region, ultimately enabling continuous on-line measurement. The device measures sea water for 10 minutes, and the minimum detectable activities of 137Cs and 60Co are 1.7 Bq/L and 2.1 Bq/L, respectively. It can promptly and efficiently the detect events of excessive radioactivity in wastewater and give an alarm signal. The device will be critical for monitoring radioactive pollution in the maritime region around nuclear power plants, and it has the benefits of a quick measuring time, a high monitoring frequency, and a high degree of real-time monitoring, allowing for the early identification of accidents and the implementation of emergency strategies.
