Abstract: In this paper,a radionuclide identification continuous liquid radioactive effluent prototype monitor based on NaI detector was developed based on indigenous patent methods for the measurement of the key gamma radionuclide such as 60Co,137Cs in nuclear facilities.The monitor had been tested for more than 500 hours.Results showed it is stable and reliable,and has the ability of radionuclide identification.Through the national level Laboratories verification of the efficiency and 500 hours test,the detection limit of continuous liquid radioactive effluent monitor was achieved around 0.088 Bq/L.The results showed that it improves the detection limit nearly two orders of magnitude lower and the weight decreased one order of magnitude lower.The device can also be applied to monitor key gamma nuclides activity concentration in drinking water.This study has important reference value for the detection of effluent.And the developed instrument could be easier for radiation controlling monitoring because of the lower installation conditions requirements than traditional instruments.
