Health Physic Laboratory - overview
Description
The activities of the Health Physics Laboratory at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Krakow are principally research in the general area of radiation physics, and radiation protection of the employees of the Institute of Nuclear Physics. Theoretical research concerns radiation detectors, radiation protection (modelling of radiation effects in biological and physical systems) and studies of concepts in radiation protection. Experimental research concerns solid state dosimetry mainly thermoluminescence (TL) dosimetry (present thrust: development of thin TL detectors for beta-ray and mixed neutron field dosimetry, development of ultra-sensitive LiF; Mg,Cu,P phosphors) and environmental radiation measurements ( radon in dwellings, low-level natural radiation. The Laboratory provides expert advice on radiation protection regulations at national and international levels
