چکیده

شناسایی و اندازه‌گیری میزان پرتوزایی ذرات معلق در هوا یک امر ضروری و بسیار مهم برای شناخت و تخمین اثر آلودگی‌های پرتوزا بر سلامت افراد و محیط زیست است. طیف‌سنجی گاما یکی از مفیدترین روش‌های آنالیز کمّی و کیفی نمونه‌ها از جمله فیلترهای هوا است. یکی از اقدامات اولیه و ضروری در انجام آنالیز نمونه‌ها توسط طیف‌سنجی گاما، کالیبره کردن این تجهیز است که نیازمند چشمه‌های استاندارد مناسب می‌باشد. هدف از این پژوهش طراحی و ساخت یک چشمه استاندارد مناسب با هندسه فیلتر و سپس کنترل کیفی و صحه‌گذاری آن است. به این منظور از فیلتر هوای هپای دایرهای شکل با قطر mm 60 استفاده گردید. سیستم طیف‌سنجی HPGe با استفاده از چشمه استاندارد ساخته شده کالیبره گردید. نتایج شمارش چشمه ساخته شده و کنترل کیفی آن صحت روش ساخت چشمه را نشان داد. صحه‌گذاری روش ساخت چشمه به وسیله روش اسپایک، خطای قابل‌قبول 8% را نشان داد.

چکیده [English]

Identifying and measuring the radioactivity of airborne particles are a necessary and very important to recognize and estimate the effect of radioactive contamination on human health and the environment. Gamma-ray spectromety is one of the most useful methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of samples, like air filters. One of the first and necessary steps in performing sample analysis by Gamma-ray spectrometer is to calibrate this equipment, which requires appropriate standard sources. The purpose of this research is to design and manufacture a suitable standard source considering filter geometry and its quality control and validation. For this purpose, a circular HEPA air filter with a diameter of 60 mm was used. Gamma-ray spectrometry system (HPGe) was calibrated by mentioned standard source. The results of counting and quality control of the manufactured source showed the accuracy of source manufacturing method. The validation of manufacturing method by Spike method showed an acceptable error of 8%.
