Objetivo Over the last decade, the problem of possible meltdown of radioactive material inadvertently getting into the scrap supply chain has been recognised worldwide. Many steel companies and other non-ferrous metal producers have installed proprietary radiation detection equipment at the point of entry, usually on a road weighbridge and/or on rail line. The work programme of this research will involve: an evaluation of scrap supply routes to the furnace in order to determine the best locations for detection systems; improvements in detection algorithms; the development of a new detector for operation on magnet/spider cranes; the mathematical modelling of radiation propagation through scrap and experimental trials on novel and existing systems. The results of this research will improve the degree of prevention of radioactive contamination risks for the workers and the surrounding plant environment.
