Abstract

Diamond detectors offer a novel technology allowing the non-destructive assay of highly radioactive environments in the civil nuclear sector. Four detectors of
different manufacturing origins have been characterised using dark current
measurements and dose rate response in controlled environments. Results show
the electrode material and contacts to the electrode are critical in achieving a
reliable and stable detection device. This work demonstrates that diamond detectors offer considerable promise for civil nuclear applications, where high dose rate measurements are required.
