Applications
One of the fundamental principles of radiation protection is that the dose to workers must be as low as reasonably practicable. In many laboratories the main risk is from ingestion or inhalation of the radionuclides. It is normal practice to monitor the workplace for surface contamination regularly and, in some cases, to check for airborne radioactive particles.
Our range of wide area reference sources is designed for calibrating portable surface contamination monitors, fixed hand/foot monitors and planchet counters for filter papers.
The main applications are:
- Calibrating instruments to meet statutory requirements
- Instrument type testing
- Pre-use testing of instruments to prove fitness for purpose
