 | Radionuclide metrology laboratories |
 |
IRMM carries out primary radioactivity measurements of high accuracy with
specialised instrumentation.
The radionuclide laboratory has instrumentation for direct counting (4πβ-γ-
coincidence methods, 4πβ-counting, 4πβγ-sum counting, 4π-CsI detector for e-,
β, γ, X-rays) and counting at a defined solid angle for α and X-rays. Relative
measurement methods available are liquid scintillation counting and ionisation
chambers. IRMM has also developed equipment for source preparation by a source
dryer.
The measurement laboratories are complemented by facilities for handling
highly active samples.
Low background γ measurements can be performed in the underground laboratory (
HADES).
