Our contribution to radiation protection metrology

The measurement technicians manage the entire stock of radiation protection metrology at the VKTA and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. Our experts advise on the procurement of new metrology, test devices and put them into operation. They are also responsible for the proper maintenance and testing of the existing radiation protection metrology.

With the help of an extensive stock of radioactive alpha, beta, gamma and neutron sources, tests are regularly carried out on all radiation protection measuring instruments, the necessary test specifications are developed and constantly updated. The result of the tests is logged, defective devices are repaired or sent for repairing.
