Abstract
A system for simultaneously detecting nuclear radiation and pressure combines light signals from a radiation sensitive scintillating optical fiber with light signals from a pressure sensitive optical fiber. The scintillating fiber is coupled to a light transmitting optical fiber for long distance light transmission to a detector unit such as a photomultiplier tube. The concurrent detection of radiation and pressure of radiation and pressure is used to trigger an alarm signal.
