Equipment

STUK has a large number of high-quality measurement equipment used for radiochemical and biological treatment, analyses of environmental samples and direct measurements of radioactivity in the environment and in people.

Confidence in the performance of equipment is maintained by regular calibrations and service, routine checks and control charts.

A new, uniform Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) was installed and tailored for the use of all laboratories during 2003-2005. The system helps the management of all laboratory work, data management, reporting and quality assurance in the department.

Test of radiation safety and related environmental sampling

  • Advanced gamma spectrometric analyses (all gamma-emitting nuclides)
  • Gamma spectrometric measurements (Cs, I, K, U, and Th isotopes)
  • Radiochemical analyses (tritium, Sr, Pu, Am and Cm isotopes)
  • Direct measurement of people
  • Airborne radon concentrations
  • Natural radionuclides in water (Rn, Po, Pb and U isotopes)
  • Chromosome analyses
  • Sampling nearby nuclear power plants in terrestrial, air and marine environments 

One laboratory has also been certified by the CTBT organization (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty). Most of the requirements are based on the standard ISO/IEC 17025.
