Testing New Kinds of Personal Protective Equipment against X and Gamma Rays
Original language description
A collection of personal protective equipment (PPE), suitable for use in case of accidents in nuclear facilities or radiological emergency situations, was tested at the National Institute for NBC Protection, Czech Republic. Attenuating qualities of shielding layers in individual PPE were tested at broad energy range via spectra measurement of X and gamma rays, penetrating them and originating from various radionuclide point sources. Mass attenuation coefficients, lead equivalents, and dose rate decrease in tested PPE against X and gamma rays were also determined. Air kerma in TLDs, placed in the layers of some tested PPE, was studied in a dispersed radioactive aerosol atmosphere of assorted radionuclides in a radon-aerosol chamber of the volume of 10 m3. Physiological stress of probands, wearing some samples of the PPE during workload, was explored as well. Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to model the shielding layers’material and to determine effective dose both in the whole body and in human torso during exposition to selected dispersed radioactive aerosols.
