The function of the radiation monitoring system Radiation Monitoring System Applicable to Fusion Experiments (RMSAFE) is well verified to detect burst radiation, that is, radiation generated suddenly and explosively. When an increase in 50 ms integrated count from a radiation monitor, which is recorded and updated every 10 ms in the system CPU, is encountered to exceed a pre-set level, RMSAFE recognizes it as an outbreak of burst radiation and alters its recording mode so that the burst event data is saved in a specified file. In this study, we detected X-rays arising from Compact Helical System (CHS), a high-temperature plasma experimental device, in order to verify that RMSAFE is able to detect radiation bursts successfully and accurately. Increases in the dose of radiation due to X-rays from CHS were observed concurrently at various observation points in several plasma shots. The weekly accumulated values of radiation dose observed by RMSAFE in the CHS torus hall were consistent with the results of integrated dose measurements by thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) and by radiophotoluminescent dosimeter (RPLD), and furthermore, the general decreasing tendency of the observed dose with the distance from the CHS torus was clearly seen, though detailed radiation patterns might be dependent on source plasma and other conditions. These results support our conclusion that RMSAFE is able to successfully detect burst X-rays. |
