Passive detectors for determining levels of ionizing radiation in different environments

New passive radiation detectors enable better research into natural external radiation (the ionising component of cosmic radiation), radon and other contributions to external radiation and personal doses, as they strengthen Slovenia's scientific significance. A network of passive detectors across the country provides a comprehensive overview of ionising external radiation levels, especially in areas at risk of radon. The research will improve our understanding of the effects of radiation on the environment and human health. The data collected will be important for the scientific community and decision-makers. The project will raise the profile of the Dosimetry Laboratory.

Responsible for equipment:
Equipment may be used by trained personnel employed at the Jožef Stefan Institute. Access is available during regular working hours or outside these hours by prior agreement with the equipment manager. The equipment is located at Jamova cesta 39, room N26. In the case of parallel use for project work and routine activities, prior reservation of a time slot is required.
