Abstract

The automatic system for remote measurements of radiological conditions at territories of rehabilitation activity was developed. The apparatus is realized as computer controlled collimated gamma-locator. The methods of exposure dose rate (EDR) calculation in 3-D space around territory of activity and analysis of relative input of main gamma-sources into EDR are developed. The results of application of the system during rehabilitation activity at RRC Kurchatov Institute for exposure dose rate monitoring and control are presented and discussed.
