Description And Operation; Purpose Of Use Of The Radiometer - ECOTEST STORA-ABG RKS-01 Operating Manual

1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1.1 Purpose of use of the radiometer

RKS-01 "STORA-ABG" radiometer-dosimeter (hereinafter – the radiometer) is
intended for:
- measurement of ambient DER of gamma and X-ray radiation (hereinafter –
photon-ionizing radiation)
- measurement of surface beta-particles flux density
- measurement of surface activity of beta-emitting radionuclides
- measurement of surface alpha-particles flux density
- measurement of surface activity of alpha-emitting radionuclides
- display of pulse count rate from alpha, beta, gamma detector.
The radiometer is used for environmental research; as visual aids for educational
establishements; for radiometric and dosimetric control at industrial enterprises; to
monitor radiation purity of residential premises, buildings and structures, territories
adjacent to them, vehicles, household items, clothes, surface of soil on garden plots.
