destined for detection and evaluation of the level of ionizing radiation.
The monitor is used for evaluation of the radiation level afield,
indoors and for evaluation of contamination level of materials and
products.
The device estimates radiation environment in magnitude of
ambient equivalent power of gamma radiation dose (further - dose
rate) taking into account pollution of objects by beta sources or in
magnitude of exposure dose rate of gamma radiation (further exposure dose rate) taking into account pollution of objects by beta
sources.
The device is designed and manufactured pursuant to “Provision
on the metrology status, order of development, allowance to
production and inspection of radiac instruments and radiometric
devices for the public”, “Method of development and allowance of
the goods to production on ÃÎÑÒ (All-Union state standard) 15.00188”, ÃÎÑÒ 15.009-91, and design documentation
10. ÊÐ.01.00.00.000.
