CONT

Les mesures nucléaires non destructives passives sont utilisées lorsque les rayonnements émis spontanément par le contaminant ont une intensité et un parcours moyen dans la matrice (ou dans la matière) suffisants pour être détectés [...] Parmi les méthodes non destructives passives, ce sont principalement la spectrométrie gamma et le comptage neutronique qui sont les plus employées. La tomographie d'émission photonique est aussi une technique de mesure non destructive passive utilisée pour le contrôle et la caractérisation d'objets radioactifs.
