METHOD FOR DETECTION OF RADIOACTIVE SOIL VOLUME Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G21F9/28 

FIELD: ecology.

SUBSTANCE: method to detect a volume of radioactive soil consists in detection of borders of a contaminated area, building triangulation models of upper and lower surfaces limiting the sought-for volume, building a 3D model of a sought-for volume and calculating a volume. The upper limiting surface is a triangulation model of contaminated area surface relief made on the basis of a geodesic survey. The lower limiting surface is a triangulation model of conventional surface determined with soil contamination depth, such as soil thickness above solid geological rocks determined by means of a georadar survey or determined by means of dosimetric monitoring of wells drilled on the contaminated area.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase accuracy of radioactive soil volume detection, which in its turn will reduce consumption of decontaminant substances, and will also make it possible to select optimum versions for soil excavation.
