Irradiation Services
We provide several irradiation units with 60Co or 137Cs sources covering a dose rate range of approximately 1 – 900 Gy/h. Irradiations at lower dose rates are possible at the x-ray, beta, and gamma sources of the Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory.

European Program Package for the Calculation of Aviation Route Doses (EPCARD)
With this computer program you may calculate online the dose which you would receive along a specified flight due to cosmic radiation. Additionally, you may determine the dose which is accumulated during a stay of one hour at any flight position in the atmosphere.

Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL): Calibration, Irradiation and Quality Control
In our IAEA/WHO SSDL, we provide dosimetric measurements and calibrations traceable to the German primary standards of the PTB in Braunschweig. It is possible to arrange training courses for personnel of foreign SSDLs.
We also perform measurements of the detective quantum efficiency of radiographic imaging systems according to the IEC standards 62220-1 and 62220-1-2.
