Question

Write short note on Nuclear detectors.

Answer 1

In experimental and applied particle physics, nuclear physics, and nuclear engineering, a particle detector, also known as a radiation detector, is a device used to detect, track, and/or identify ionizing particles, such as those produced by nuclear decay, cosmic radiation, or reactions in a particle accelerator.

Answer 2

The nuclear detector detects radiation levels for early warning and general monitoring systems.

Nuclear detectors :

• In REMs, a nuclear detector detects radiation levels for early warning and general monitoring systems. Both the present level in REMs and the cumulative exposure in REM hours are displayed on the screen.

• It works by detecting neutrons, which are difficult to prevent, previous technology only detected gamma rays, which may be readily blocked by encasing them in lead or steel.

• It can also detect the presence of radioactive particles and pinpoint their origin.
