Description
Application
Scintillation gamma-ray spectrometer AirSPEC is intended for measuring scintillation spectra and also for determination of activities and specific activities of radionuclides in prepared and natural samples in 2π and 4π geometries. Spectrometer can be used for radiation monitoring and various tasks like definition of specific effective activity of naturally occurring radionuclides (NORM) in building materials (granite, crushed stone, gravel, etc.), raw materials, products, waste industrial production and rocks without sampling. In addition, AirSPEC is applicable for measurement of surface activity of the radionuclide 137Cs (and other), mass fraction of NORM in rocks and resins the conditions of their natural occurrence on a surface, in boreholes and in warehouses and transport containers. Moreover, AirSPEC can analyze surface contamination of soil, as well as prospecting and exploration of mineral deposits. The spectrometer can be used for operating in laboratory and in the field conditions.
