MEASUREMENT OF RADIOACTIVE SCALE
Application area
Measurement of radioactivity is used for the measurement
of:
o components with radioactive scale
o loose materials
o lead deposits
The measurements can be carried out directly on the
component or on a sample taken from the component
Calibration of instruments
1. Use the standards where the ratio between the nuclides
226
Ra
and
228
Ra is 3:1. These containers are labelled with yellow
labels on the lids.
2. Measure the background counting rate on site over a period
of a few seconds. If the background is significant (> 5
CPS), then the measured counting rate must be adjusted
accordingly.
3. The lid is screwed off the container before calibration.
Specific activity of
226
Ra + specific activity of
228
Ra in units
of Bq/g are indicated on the label on the bottom of the
container. Note this.
4. Place the probe in direct contact with the surface of the
deposit and start measuring. It is recommended to measure
the average counting rate over a period of few seconds.
5. Repeat this procedure for the two other standards in this
series.
The result can be illustrated graphically by displaying the
specific activity in Bq/g as a function of the counting rate
in CPS, as illustrated in the example below. A straight
line is drawn in the best possible way through the three
measurement points. A horizontal line is then drawn in on the
graph denoting the LLW limit for classification as free, which
will correspond to 1 Bq/g, since we measure the specific
activity of the sum of the two radium isotopes and the ratio
between them is 3:1. All results over 10 Bq/g are deposit duty
and between 1-10 Bq/g shall be declared on a declaration sheet
and be shipped ashore. Remember to fill in the measurements
results in the information field on the declaration form.
252
Measurement directly on the component
1. Before taking a measurement. Turn the instrument on first
and check the battery voltage.
2. Then check the counting rate against a known radiation
source. One of the standards in the LLW standard set is
suitable for this purpose.
3. To prevent the measuring probe from getting dirty, it is
advisable to cover it with thin cling film. If cling film are
used, you shall also use cling film when calibrating.
4. Measure the background counting rate on site. If it is low (<
5 CPS) you can ignore it.
5. The measurement is performed by holding the measuring
probe in close proximity to the internal surface of the
component. Measurements should be taken at a number of
different points on the component. The measurement points
should be chosen based on where it is most likely deposits
will be found.
6. The measurement result in CPS shall be entered in the
measurement report.
7. Specific activity in Bq/g can be determined based on the
instruments calibration curve. The value shall be entered in
the measurement report.
Measurement of deposit or loose material samples
1. Extract a suitable amount of material (100-200g) from
the component and place it in a container similar to the
calibration containers.
2. Take the container to a site where there is no explosion risk
and there are no other radiation sources nearby.
3. A functional check of the instrument shall be performed
before taking a measurement. Turn the instrument on first
and check the battery voltage.

ATTACHMENT 4:
MEASUREMENT OF -(GAMMA) RADIATION
Area of application
The metering of -radiation on the exterior of pipes or
components is used when measurement directly on
coating or scale (see Appendix 5) is not possible, or
when, for some reason, the presence of radioactive scale
is to be determined. One possible area of application
could be metering on the exterior of the separator tank
for determination of deposits of radioactive scale in the
produced sand.
The metering is to be conducted with gsensitive
instruments, for example a dose meter. The unit displayed
by the instrument is not important: the concluding result will
be obtained
Method limitations
The method is qualitative, meaning that it only determines if
radioactive scale is present or not.
The method has a high determination limit, meaning that
it will give a positive result only when large quantities of
radioactive scale are present
The method can not be used to demonstrate potential
deposits of radioactive lead (
210
Pb)
The method is sensitive to other possible nearby deposits of
radioactive scale.

Metering procedures
1. Clean the instrument before metering, to ensure that the
instrument is not contaminated from earlier measurements.
2. Test battery function.
3. Survey the background spectrum by metering the area
surrounding the pipe/component to be metered. This is done
to find possible other deposits of radioactive scale that could
affect the measurement.
4. Measure the background spectrum about 30 cm from where
the metering is to take place towards the area where the
background spectrum (see point 3) is the strongest. Record
the result as Background.
5. With the instrument in contact with the surface of the pipe
or component, commence metering. Record the result as
Measurement.
6. If Measurement is considered to be definitely larger
than Background, the presence of radioactive scale is
proven. (Comment: it is practically impossible to define
more specific criteria than the above. The correct use of
the method depends on the users experience and good
judgment.)
