Brief introduction
When it is necessary to focus on checking the radioactive nuclide content in special parts of the human body, in order to obtain a relatively low detection limit, a longer measurement time is required. Therefore, Zhongzhi Nuclear Safety has designed a seat type organ counterChairEasy-HPGe.
ChairEasy-HPGeComposed of two broad energy typesHPGeDetector and two1inchNaIDetector composition, high-purity germanium detector measures lung radioactivity,NaIThe detector measures thyroid radioactivity.ChairEasy-HPGeSpecial shielding and collimation designs were carried out from both the system structure (shielding of backboards, ground surfaces, etc.) and detector aspects to reduce the impact of environmental background on measurement results. Using Chinese standard human body models for efficiency calibration to ensure measurement accuracy.ChairEasy-HPGeThe detection limits for lung radioactivity are shown in the table1.
