Evaluation of the occupational dose reduction after automation process for calibration of gamma radiation monitors

In this study, it was evaluated the occupational dose of calibration technicians responsible for monitor calibration of gamma radiation in the Instrument Calibration Laboratory of the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research (IPEN-LCI), Sp, Brazil in your calibration activities before and after the automation of the process monitor calibration gamma be completed. Various measures of occupational dose values were taken inside the room calibration and the control room of radiators allowing calculate and show the occupational dose values in these environments during a full calibration of a monitor gamma radiation, showing the advantage of automation process, with decrease in dose and time calibration.
