Abstract
[en]
Selenium-75 is a new industrial gamma radiography source gradually becoming popular
worldwide, because it gives better sensitivity for radiography of low thickness materials compared
to 192Ir source, which is currently used. 75Se has wide spectrum of energy from varying from 9-400
keV. However, accurate information about its radiological properties viz. exposure rate, average
energy, attenuation properties through various material are not available to date. An effort has
been made in this paper to evaluate the above parameters of 75Se source using numerical
calculations and Monte Carlo calculations. These calculated values would help the users in
determining exposure time as well as for various radiological protection applications. This paper
also discusses the merits and demerits of 75Se as a radiography source. (author)

Abstract
[en]
Radiographic exposure can be determined by either trial exposure, reference to previous data or
using exposure chart. Without previous data, exposure chart is the easiest and economic way to
achieve correct exposure. It will minimize re-shoot and time. This paper presents the development
of gamma exposure chart for Selenium-75 source. Film radiography method has been chosen for
this development using steel step wedge blocks. Agfa Structurix D7 films have been used during
the exposure and the optical density of the films was measured by using X-Rite densitometer.
Method of development of the chart is explained. The chart is tested on pipe and welded plate test
sample and the results are discussed. (author)

Abstract
[en]
When the radioisotope, Se-75 is used as a radiation source in radiographic testing, the exposure
time, the exposure dose-rate and the contrast are theoretically and experimentally considered
comparing with them of Ir-192. The exposure time to obtain the same film density is increased to
1.0 1.6 times with increment of thickness of carbon steel. However, the exposure dose-rate by
Se-75 is decreased to 0.44 0.60 times. Finally it is also found that the contrast on the developed
film is enhanced up to 30 mm of carbon steel by using the Se-75. Therefore it is concluded that it
will be more effective radiation source to inspect precisely weld points of steel structures as well
as to decrease the absorbed dose of RT workers in field

electronics, the sweeping is no more manual but electronic and enables the operator to localize
and size defects deep under the surface; -) digit radiography that is a common radiography in
which the film is replaced by a re-usable phosphorus screen that is more sensitive and can be
easily digitalized and has no need for a chemical treatment to be read. Digit radiography used with
Se75 (another gamma emitter) gives comparable or even better results than with Ir192 but with a
dose rate cut by half at least. (A.C.)

Present status and future trend of radiography using -ray and research
and development in Japan and overseas

Abstract
[en]
Iridium 192 (192Ir) and cobalt 60 (60Co) have been most frequently used as the source of -ray
radiography. Since the -rays obtainable from these sources have comparatively high energy,
these sources are not available for radiography using a steel plate thinner than 10 mm. Thus,
considerable attentions from domestic and oversea researchers have been attracted into low
energy sources such as 169Yb, 170Tm, 75Se, etc. Since the thickness of steel plate applicable to
radiography is 2-15 mm for 169Yb, whereas it is 12-60 mm for 192Ir and 50-150 mm for 60Co, the
use of 169Yb has become almost possible in the ordinary radiography. However, this source has
some demerits including shortness of halflife. On the other hand, 75Se has been paid much
attention as a promising low-energy source in other countries and its development has been
progressing toward practical use. (M.N.)
