Whole Body Counting in the Iaea Laboratory
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Among the current activities of the IAEA laboratory is a project for the measurement and analysis of small amounts of radioactivity in living persons. This is done with what is known as a "whole body counter" installed in the basement of the Agency's headquarters building in Vienna. This facility is also available for rendering services to Member States at their request as part of the bio-assay service provided by the laboratory.

متن کاملOptimization of measurement counting time in Gamma-ray spectrometry of soil samples
The method of optimal measurement counting time in Gamma spectrometry for soil samples was studied. Gamma spectrometry was done based on minimum detectable activity using the HPGe- p type with efficiency of 30% and FWHM 1.7keV (for 1.33 MeV 60Co). The samples were IAEA-RG Th-1, IAEA-RGU-1 and IAEA-RGK-1 prepared in bottles. The measurements were done for 12 different counting times from 5 min t...

At SSDLs the recommended detector for the calibration of all brachytherapy photon sources, as well as for the calibration of intravascular beta sources, is an appropriately calibrated well type chamber. For SSDLs the preferred method for traceability in the source calibrations is to have the well type chamber calibrated against the primary standard at the PSDL. However, due to practical reasons...
متن کاملA whole body counting facility in a remote Enewetak Island setting.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has recently implemented a series of strategic initiatives to address long-term radiological surveillance needs at former U.S. test sites in the Marshall Islands. The plan is to engage local atoll communities in developing shared responsibilities for implementing radiation protection programs for resettled and resettling populations. As part of this new initi...
متن کاملVisual Monte Carlo and the Simulation of Whole Body Counter and Gamma Camera Counting Systems
The Monte Carlo program Visual Monte Carlo in vivo (VMC in-vivo) was developed and tested over thirteen years at the Instituto de Radioprotecao e Dosimetria (IRD), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. VMC in-vivo has been extensively validated through international intercomparisons and is available for free download. The program simulates the geometry of Whole Body Counter (WBC) and Gamma-Camera Counting sy...
