MAUD Project - Characterization by Autoradiography Tech-nique of facilities under dismantlement

International audienceIn the framework of nuclear facilities dismantling, there is a strong need to obtain accu-rate analytical results on remaining radioactivity on different solid materials (concrete, met-al, ). Based on different commercial developments dedicated to biological researches, the Digital Autoradiography method has already been used for different real characterizations of nuclear wastes. Different developments have proved the efficiency of the Autoradiog-raphy Technique but drawbacks have been identified and the industrial research project MAUD has proposed several innovative solutions to improve the use of the technique for characterization
