(ARTICLE 2)nEW tECHNOLOGY FINDS LOST IRRADIATED FUEL


From the article we can know about New Technology finds lost irradiated fuel..New technology developed is detecting irradiated fuel lost in Hanford’s burial grounds before it leaves the excavator bucket.It can detect gamma radiaton from cesium 137 in irriadated fuel and rusting metal distinguish I from the cobalt 60 found in most of the other irradated and rusting metal discarded in the burial grounds,including those with high radiation.
The first fuel found in 2004,in part because the plutonium the fuel pieces contained was so valuable.Some likely was mistakenly discarded and others may have been discarded because pieces had been broken.
The new technology developed by Washington Closure called Compton Ratio Analysis for testing Environmental Radioactivity or CRATER,is the third method that’s been tied to find the fuel pieces among other debris in the burial grounds,including thousands of same-size spacers.
Hence,we can know important about new technology to finds lost irradiated fuel.
