METHOD FOR DETERMINING ACTIVITY OF RADIONUCLIDES INCORPORATED INTO PERSONNEL ARM SKIN COVERS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01T1/161 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: method for determining the activity of radionuclides incorporated into personnel arm skin covers differs in the fact that the calibration coefficient is determined using a typical radiometre (radiometre-dosimetre) and a gamma spectrometre, as well as by the results of measuring the sample from a specific workplace and the activity of radionuclides incorporated into the personnel arm skin covers is determined by the formula A=(n_a-n_b)⋅C_r⋅(n_wr-n_br)/(n_w-n_b), where A is the activity of radionuclides incorporated into the personnel arm skin covers, Bq; n_a is the counting rate on a gamma spectrometre from the surface of the arm skin cover, cp⋅m.^-1; n_b is the background counting rate on the gamma spectrometre at the place of measurements, cp⋅m.^-1; C_r is the conversion coefficient from measuring units of the radiometre in Bq; n_wr is the radiometre reading from the dry wipe taken at the specific working place; n_br is the radiometre background reading at the place of meaurements; n_w is the counting rate from the dry wipe taken at the specific working place, determined on the gamma spectrometre, cp⋅m.^-1.

EFFECT: increased efficiency, reduced detection limit for radionuclide activity, simplified control.
