Angular dependence of portable monitors in gamma radiation standard beams

  • 1. Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares (IPEN), Sao Paulo, SP (Brazil)

Description

A series of type tests recommended by international standards was applied to several gamma radiation monitoring survey meters (Geiger-Mueller type, ionization chambers and a scintillator) commonly used in Brazil. The objective was to establish a routine test methodology to be applied to new and repaired instruments. The tests included the verification of angular dependence, and the response variation with zero drift. (author)
