Analytical evaluation of the effect of alpha fluence and energy on the properties of the irradiated PADC polymers was carried out. The images obtained by alpha irradiation on the films were analyzed using image analysis technique while UV–Vis spectrophotometry was used to understand the changes of the optical properties of the polymer. The results of this study could be applied for estimation of fluence and identification of energy of plutonium bearing sources in nuclear industrial facilities without having to use a dedicated and glove box enclosed equipment.
