Control Apparatus for Radioactive Contamination of the Filtering Device Adapted on the Protection Apparatus of the Respiratory Tracts; APPAREIL DE CONTROLE DE LA CONTAMINATION RADIOACTIVE DES DISPOSITIFS FILTRANTS ADAPTES SUR LES APPAREILS DE PROTECTION DES VOIES RESPIRATOIRES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4816092
The apparatus allows detection and localization of the radioactive contamination of the mask cartridge, for alpha, beta, and gamma radiations, concerning external contamination, and for beta and gamma radiations, concerning internal contamination. It consists of a lead coffin, in which the cartridge is inserted for control. Halogen counters are in contact with it. Operation conditions (Geiger or proportional) and their position in regard to the cartridge are controlled from outside. A scaler counts the pulses, given by the different counters. (auth)
