Özet

A bubble detector resembles a testing tube or a human fingertip in size and form. It has a material with small liquid droplets in it. When neutrons collide with the droplets, visible bubbles of trapped gas appear almost instantly. The number of bubbles in the surrounding neutron radiation may be measured optically or with a reader, and the number of bubbles reflects the degree of neutron radiation. The gas bubbles may be compressed again and used again. A bubble detector becomes a radiation sensor utilized to assess neutron levels. Neutrons account for 30 percent of the radiations that astronauts encounter in orbit. When protons collide with a spacecraft's shielding, neutrons are produced. To better monitor specific astronauts' neutron exposures throughout space missions, the Canadian Space Agency's Operation Space Medicine (OSM) Group is sponsoring the development of a personal detector device for space usage depending on Canadian bubble dosimeter technology. The current study focuses on mechanisms utilized for detecting radiation, Neutron detectors, and kinds of Neutron detectors, in addition to the effect of radiation on the health system.
