An apparatus for providing in-situ radiation measurements within a density equivalent package is disclosed. The apparatus may include a radiation detector embedded within the density equivalent package that is configured to measure an amount of exposure of a phantom material of the density equivalent package to radiation emitted by an irradiation device. The phantom material may have density equivalence with an object or substance for which radiation exposure information is sought and the phantom material may serve as a substitute for the object or substance. A signal including the measurement of the amount of exposure of the phantom material to the radiation may be provided to a processor of the apparatus for processing. The processor may process the signal to interpret and provide additional information relating to the measurement and may provide the information to a device communicatively linked to the apparatus.

The present invention is capable of determining the location(s) of waste (e.g. nuclear fuel debris, obstacles, contaminated or otherwise radioactive materials), monitoring and inspecting their surroundings, and transporting them, as well as use in repair, construction, and reactor decommissioning work in high radiation environment. Ultrasound (or sound) waves are not subject to interference from radiation. This modality is utilized in the present invention to detect and image waste and/or objects of interest. The system combines the resulting ultrasound (or sound) wave images for detecting waste and/or objects of interest with radiation information acquired by a radiation detector, to generate and adjust new composite images to display. For example, the image in the direction of strong radiation is red and the image in the direction of weak radiation is blue. Additionally, the constituent imaging apparatus may be fitted on a drone or robotic system for repair and construction work.

Measuring and tracking energy emitted by a radiation source. A system includes an image sensor for sensing electromagnetic radiation and a scintillator. The scintillator absorbs energy emitted by a radiation source and scintillates the absorbed energy. The system is such that the image sensor senses an image frame depicting at least a portion of the scintillator when the radiation source emits the energy. The image frame comprises an indication of where the energy is absorbed by the scintillator.

An arrangement for determining an energy spectrum of a beam of radiation or particles is disclosed. The arrangement comprises a plurality of polymeric bodies. Each of the plurality of polymeric bodies includes an optical waveguide. Each of the plurality of polymeric bodies has a scintillator disposed at a respective end of the optical waveguide.
