The department may also be responsible...

Contamination Monitoring It is, of course, necessary to ensure that all workers in nuclear facilities are confident that they are not carrying contamination home with them. This is especially important for nuclear power plants because, in the course of normal operations, most workers are not supposed to come in direct contact with any radioactive material. Therefore detection of “loose” contamination on the surface of a worker's clothing or body can be an indication of contamination control problems within the facility. There is also a need to ensure that any tools, briefcases, hardhats etc....

Health Physics Instrumentation Applications for hand-held instruments in nuclear power plants fall into two general categories, worker oriented and location oriented. these workers need to monitor the dose-rate in the working area and check for any contamination on tools they have been using, or specific objects they are working on (pipes, part exchange, small area on a wall, Worker Oriented Instrumentation etc.). The Radiagem™ 2000/4000 is There are two levels of workers who the perfect tool for this application use hand-held devices – those on the with or without CANBERRA Smart Rad Protection...
