FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: radiation source comprises an insert with radioactive substance placed in a lead housing (3). The radioactive insert is in the form of a wire (1), which is tied to a frame (2) by a tightening device. The frame is fixed in the lead housing by guides (6) attached at its corners, and a collimator (4) is inserted in one of the walls of the housing, said collimator having a calibration slit (5) parallel to the tightened wire. The frame and the collimator are made of invar alloys.
EFFECT: improved radiation safety for surrounding objects.
