α β γ ray Radiation Room

In the α β γ room are calibrated instruments for non Accredia report.

Liquid and extended sources are present in the room, used for calibration of the instruments used in nuclear medicine.

The extended sources are used to calibrate contamination meters Hands, Feet and Clothing meters
The liquid sources are used to calibrate the Dose calibrators.

The Comecer Calibration Report is issued following calibration, relative to the quantity of the “Activity”.

Electro-deposited sources for radioactive surface contamination
