| Abstract |
Scrap metal may be contaminated with radioactive components particularly if it comes from medical, research, military equipment or nuclear power plants. Scintillation counters are found suitable for radiation monitoring of scrap metal because all types of radioactivity can be detected. The installation of scintillation counters at the state borders in Germany, at the entrance to the premises of scrap metal dealers, to steelworks and foundries to detect radioactive material in scrap metal carried on trucks and on railway wagons is described and illustrated. |
