A nuclear level sensing gauge (10) for measuring the level of product (16) in a bin (14) utilizes a bundle (12) of scintillating fibers. A source (18) of nuclear radiation positioned adjacent the bin, and a bundle of one or more scintillating fibers is positionned adjacent the bin opposite the source of nuclear radiation such that nuclear radiation passing through the bin impinges upon the bundle. Circuitry detects scintillating photons generated in the fibers, which are indicative of radiation passing through the bin. The number of photons generated in the fibers is representative of the level of radiation-absorbing product in the bin.

Cette jauge de détection de niveau nucléaire (10) permettant de mesurer la concentration d'un produit (16) dans un compartiment de stockage (14) utilise un faisceau de fibres optiques scintillantes. Une source (18) de rayonnement nucléaire est contiguë du compartiment de stockage (14) et un faisceau constitué d'une ou de plusieurs fibres scintillantes est contigu du compartiment à l'opposé de la source de rayonnement nucléaire de sorte que celle-ci, traversant le compartiment, frappe le faisceau. Des circuits détectent des photons scintillants produits dans les fibres et qui sont représentatifs du rayonnement traversant le compartiment. Le nombre de photons produits dans les fibres indique la concentration du produit présent dans le compartiment absorbant le rayonnement.
