Dosimetry Laboratory

The Dosimetry Laboratory is equipped with closed radioactive calibration sources: Co-60, Cs-137, Am-241, Ba-133, and Eu-152, which collectively emit alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Additionally, the laboratory contains a set of experimental samples, including granite, uranium glass, thorium electrodes, potassium salt, uranocircite, and an educational set for measuring radiation from radon.
The laboratory features:
RUM-2 radiometer equipped with an SSU-70-2 scintillation probe.
Gamma-Scout multifunction Geiger counter.
DMP-2 dosimeter.
Two compact personal dosimeters PM1610A.
Environmental dosimeter utilizing optoluminescence technology.

The following laboratory exercises are conducted in the Dosimetry Laboratory:
Measurement of radiation absorption by various materials.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of shielding against ionizing radiation.
Measurement of radon gas concentration in indoor environments.
Determination of alpha particle energy by measuring their range.
Measurement of the upper boundary of the beta radiation energy spectrum.
Verification of the relationship between the intensity of ionizing radiation and distance from the source.
Calibration of the energy and efficiency of gamma radiation detectors.
Measurement of gamma radiation background with assessment of radon contribution.
