Période

SEPT. 5 TO OCT. 25 1997

Canada

CANADIAN DEVELOPED & MANUFACTURED RADIATION DETECTORS, WHICH FLEW ON U.S. SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION STS-86 OF SEPT. 25 TO OCT. 5 1997, TO MIR SPACE STATION. DETECTORS SERVED AS SENSORS IN CREAM (COSMIC RADIATION EFFECTS & ACTIVATION MONITOR) EXPERIMENTS CARRIED OUT ON MIR DURING THAT MISSION.

Fonction

DEVICE USED TO MEASURE NEUTRON RADIATION. DETECTOR CONSISTS OF TINY DROPLETS OF SUPERHEATED LIQUID DISPERSED THROUGH ELASTIC POLYMER. WHEN DROPLETS ARE STRUCK BY NEUTRONS, THEY FORM SMALL GAS BUBBLES THAT REMAIN FIXED IN POLYMER TO PROVIDE REAL TIME VISUAL RECORD, WITH NUMBER OF BUBBLES INDICATING RADIATION LEVELS. THESE DETECTORS WERE USED ON SPACE STATION TO MONITOR NEUTRON LEVELS.

Technique

THIS TYPE OF DETECTOR IS SUITED FOR USE AS PERSONAL DOSIMETER FOR ROUTINE MONITORING OF NEUTRON DOSES. IT HAS EXTREMELY HIGH NEUTRON SENSITIVITY, IS ISOTROPIC IN RESPONSE, PROVIDES IMMEDIATE VISUAL RECORD, & IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN SPACE, WHERE ITS INSENSITIVITY TO OTHER CHARGED PARTICLES IS MAJOR ADVANTAGE.
