Description

Application

The BG500 radiation detector is recommended for the following applications, among others:

1.Education on nuclear physics: Measurement of the amount of ionising radiation emitted by radioactive materials. Experiments to study the properties of nuclear radiation.

2.Medical: Detection and measurement of the presence of radiation and radioactive material.

3.Environmental monitoring: Monitoring the environment for radioactive contamination, e.g. in soil, air and water.

4.Personal radiation dosimetry: Checking the radiation exposure of people working in radiation-relevant industries such as medical facilities, research laboratories and nuclear power plants.

5.Safety Inspection: Examination of persons and cargo for radioactive substances.

6.Alerting: Used by first responders and safety officers to monitor harmful radiation in real time.
