Abstract
A system for in situ nuclear measurement of alpha radiation of an effluent and a related method. The system includes: M diamond semiconductor detectors obtained by chemical vapor deposition, or silicon semiconductor detectors covered with a diamond layer, as alpha radiation detectors, configured to be immersed in the effluent, and to measure alpha radiation emitted by the effluent, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1; P measuring channels connected to the M alpha radiation detectors, P is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M, each of the P measuring channels configured to provide a value or a sum of alpha activity values from the M alpha radiation detectors to which they are connected; and, if P is greater than 1, a mechanism for adding together results from the P measuring channels.
