Description

A measuring unit is presented for the measurement of dose rate values around an iridium-192 source. The values determined by measurements are compared to the calculated values. Both show a good conformity, so they can be used as basis for a computer program. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es wird ueber eine Messanordnung zur Messung von Dosisleistungswerten um eine Iridium-192-Quelle berichtet. Die messtechnisch ermittelten Werte werden mit berechneten verglichen. Beide zeigen eine gute Uebereinstimmung, so dass sie als Grundlage fuer ein Rechenprogramm herangezogen werden koennen. (orig.)
