Radioprotection Laboratory 1100-3BF17
Practical measurements will take 20 hours and 10 hours will be devoted to the analysis of the acquired data and to writing a report.
Students will use several different radiometers, including:
1) EKO-C Geiger-Mueller dosimeter
2) Canberra Colibri radiometer with Geiger-Mueller, scintillator and semiconductor probes
3) Canberra Inspector 1000 Hand-Held Multichannel Analyzer with the NaI scintillator probe
4) UNIDOS webline Universal Dosimeter
Students will perform the following tasks:
1) Search for gamma-ray radiation sources
2) Measurements of the radiation doses
3) Determination of iso-dose lines
4) Check of angular and energy characteristics Geiger-Mueller and scintillator probes
5) Measurements of the absorption of gamma and beta in materials
6) Determination of the maximum alpha-particle range in air
