STUDY DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF A PROTOTYPE EQUIPMENT DETECTING LEVEL OF LIQUID USED GEIGER-MULLER DETECTOR

Abstract

The paper presents study, design, and production of equipment for detecting level of liquid used geiger-muller detector by gamma transmission method, application in teaching and learning. The purpose of research and manufacturing is to serve the teaching and training, to help students master the mechanism of radiation interaction with matter, contributing to disseminating knowledge of atomic energy application and enhancement high-quality presentations at the Nuclear Research Institute Training Center. Initial results have produced a handheld level measuring device using a Geiger-Muller counter tube using gamma source  Cs-137-10µCi, displaying the counter by a 16×2 LCD screen and a power supply 9VDC that is easy to operate and safe when in operator. This is the premise for further research and development of radiation level measurement equipment to increase the visual of lectures on atomic energy application, application of transmitted gamma method without using complicated, expensive equipment, and ensuring radiation safety at the Training Center.
