Problems solved by technology

When gamma rays pass through different attenuation layers, the energy will change, which will have a certain impact on the calibration of the instrument. For ionization chamber detectors, the energy deposited by the detector in the ionization chamber is counted, and the conversion coefficient is obtained. In the calculation process Use the conversion coefficient corresponding to the gamma ray energy corresponding to the Cs-137 source, and the energy change will affect the accuracy of the dose conversion result

Moreover, my country's control over radioactive sources is quite strict, and there are certain problems in the transportation of this device

During the transportation of radioactive sources, there may be risks such as radioactive source falling and radioactive leakage. Once this happens, it will cause immeasurable consequences

[0003] In summary, the problems in the prior art are: The energy of the radiation source of the existing portable multi-range reference radiation device is single. When the gamma rays pass through different attenuation layers, the energy will change, which will have a certain impact on the calibration of the instrument; there are also certain problems in transportation.
