ABSTRACT
In order to test the practicability and operability of the emergency plan for environmental emergencies of district, the ability of radiation accidents quickly respond, emergency monitoring and disposal of the radiation emergency monitoring team, and to inspect cooperative disposal ability according to the responsibilities stipulated in the plan of police department, health department, and publicity departments, and to further standardize the emergency response procedures for radiation accidents, and carry out radiation accident emergency drills. To describe the radiation accident drill organized by the district and jointly held by environmental protection, police department, health department, publicity and other departments, to analyze the scenario design, emergency equipment, emergency monitoring, on-site disposal, emergency termination, and to summarize and analyze the drill. The drill strictly implemented the emergency response procedures for radiation accidents, and comprehensively verified the nuclear and radiation emergency system in Chang'an District. By relying on the existing national technical force, the drill vigorously coordinated and cooperated to improve the rapid response ability of radiation emergency. The drill is an important way to effectively improve the emergency management ability of radiation accidents, to improve the technical ability of effectively response and emergency disposal of radiation environmental safety, and improve the technical level of the emergency monitoring team. It is also one of the technical means for the effective supervision of radioactive sources. It is suggested to continuously carry out the construction of online supervision capability during the transportation of radioactive sources, to improve the professional qualities and skills of road transport operators and reduce the probability of accidents, and continue to strengthen emergency exercises (drills) and technological innovation.

The emphasis is on the analysis of the current status, the summary of accomplishments and the identification of potential problems. It concluded with providing possible suggestions about radioactive source safety oversight informatization in China for use as reference for the management of radioactive source safety in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To select an efficient ion exchange resin to purify the 60Co contaminated well-water for storing radioactive source and to ensure the radioactivity of 60Co in treated well-water below 10 Bq/L.Methods The radioactivity of 60Co in the water samples was measured by using the potassium cobaltinitrite coprecipitation-β counting method.The treatment efficiencies of two different ion exchange resins for the simulated 60Co-bearing waste water were compared to select a better one to dispose of the 60Co contaminated well-water.Results The treatment efficiency of MBD-15-SC mixed ion exchange resin was about 5.8 times higher than ZGCNR50 strong-acid cation exchange resin.The radioactivity of 60Co in the contaminated well-water could be reduced from 4.16 × 105 Bq/L to 1.16 Bq/L by two-stage sorption of MBD-15-SC mixed ion exchange resin.Conclusions Using several times of two-stage MBD-15-SC mixed ion exchange resin could effectively purify the 60Co contaminated well-water.The quality of the treated well-water could meet the sewage discharge standards.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish an efficiency calibration method without a radioactive source for Inspector 2000 gamma spectroscopy system.Methods At the fwst step,geometry parameters of the detector were properly specified by comparisons of FEPE(Full Energy Peak Efficiency)between Monte Carlo(MC)calculations and the average measured values of HPGe and NaI detectors using point sources(137 Cs).The differences between calculations and measurements were generally within ±10% for gamma rays.Then,Monte Carlo simulation was used to evaluate the counting efficiency of Nal(TI)and HPGe detectors for BOMAB phantoms.Corresponding efficiency curves and functions were fitted.Results The counting efficiency received from the fitted efficiency functions had a good agreement with those from MC simulation.The bias for Nal detector ranged from-19% to 18%,while the bias for HPGe detector ranged from-11% to 17%.The above errors were totally acceptable in the on-site deployment during nuclear and radiological emergency events.Conclusions Monte Carlo method is simple,time and laborsaving in determing the counting efficiency of gamma spectroscopy system.
ABSTRACT
Objective To measure the operative length of the radioactive source with RL_HZJ18 afterloading machine.Methods The ways of direct measurement and treatment plan are both collected to measure.Results Both of the ways can measure the operative length,and the error of length can be accurate to 1mm.Conclusion The way is simple,practical,good maneuverability,it is worth the trial and promotion.
