摘要
The application of a planar miniature CdTe detector fur gamma spectrometry has been tested by analysing standard radioactive sources and spent nuclear fuel. The detector was connected to a charge loss corrector amplifier and yielded an energy resolution (FWHM) of 7.2 keV at 662 keV. The application of the CdTe detector to spent fuels resulted in gamma spectra of well resolved photopeaks for the fission products Cs-134 and Cs-137. The ratio of the two fission products, complemented by isotopic correlations, verified the burnup of the fuel to within 10% of that declared by the operator.
