Profile: Measuring of radioactive aerosols, especially artificial nuclides

    The AMS 02 has been developed by BITT Technology and the Institute of Nuclear Techniques, Technical University of Budapest and includes the experience of more than 30 years. Among other things, the most important features are the reliable function also under difficult conditions, as well as the possibility of a maintenance-free operating over months.

    The AMS 02 is an automatically working measuring system, for counting of radioactive aerosols, with routinely measuring of iodine, so that the non-natural radioactivity α-, β- and γ-radiation is counted. The system is equipped with a remote control unit, which enables communication from and to the central unit at any time. The AMS 02 is a single filter system which enables different suction- and measuring programs. A further advantage is the possibility of testing the detectors through calibration filter. Furthermore, under usual conditions, used filters can be taken once more after decay of the natural radioactivity. Also filters can be extracted to make high-precise analysis in corresponding laboratories. Under usual conditions, one suction-cycle takes 24 hours with one and the same filter. Measuring- evaluations are made in intervals at 5 min. If there are abnormities, confirming in the next two measuring-cycles, that means after three measuring-cycles, the device switches on intensive-mode. On the intensive-mode a new filter is inserted and sucted for 1 hour. The measuring evalution enables an exact qualitative and quantitative statement concerning the α-, β- and γ- nuclides, whereby the quality varies according to the detector type.
