Conducts research in the field of radiometric measurements and the study of innovative solutions for radioprotection problems in various industrial and production sectors.
The Radioprotection Laboratory was established in 1957 to provide dosimetry services for the L54M research nuclear reactor at the Politecnico. Over the years, the laboratory has expanded its activities into other key sectors of radioprotection, placing increasing emphasis on a scientific approach to issues affecting industrial and production activities.
Today, the laboratory conducts:
- Measurements on samples using low-background liquid scintillation (Quantulus system)
- High-resolution gamma spectrometry (HPGe type GEM and GMX)
- Homeland security approach (field instrumentation for ionising radiation)
- Radioprotection expert services (Grade III)
- Radioprotection consultations and training course organisation
- Assistance with specific issues such as:
Nuclear plant decommissioning
Development of commissioning and decommissioning methods for nuclear plant components, particularly nuclear graphite
Radiometric control of semi-finished goods, materials, waste and recyclable materials
Orphan sources
Radioactive waste management
Dosimetry for airline personnel
Dosimetric evaluations in cases of internal contamination
