Equipment for laboratories of radiometric measurements and nuclear physics was purchased under the international technical assistance project “EU best practices-based education in Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Culture for the Belarusian Academia” (RADIUM).

The laboratories are now equipped with modern devices, such as a gamma radiation detector and a gamma-beta spectrometer, which allow measuring the volume activity of gamma-emitting radionuclides in water, food, agricultural and industrial commodities, forestry products, building materials, soil, and other objects of environment.

Among the laboratory equipment there are radiation detectors with alpha, beta and gamma radiation detection units that measure the power of an equivalent dose of gamma radiation, the density of beta radiation from radionuclide-contaminated surfaces and in radionuclide-contaminated liquid media.

It should be noted that the spectrometry of gamma radiation and alpha radiation with the identification of radionuclide content is provided on the basis of the laboratories. AT6102 spectrometers were purchased for these purposes.

The installed equipment will be used to conduct laboratory classes for undergraduates under the Master's network according to the tasks of "Radium".
