MEASUREMENT OF BACKGROUND GAMMA RADIATION

Zaur GAMİSHİDZE1

The results of measurements of the level of radiation in places of residence are presented in this work. Based on the measurements obtained, diagrams of the state of the radiation background were constructed, based on which it can be concluded that the natural radiation background is within the normal range. The natural background does not depend on external factors: pressure, humidity, or temperature, but during measurements, external conditions affect the operation of the dosimeter and, consequently, their indications. As a result of the research, the radiation gamma background of the studied area will be determined and a radiation gamma background map will be created. The map will include a populated area, gamma-background in open space, gamma-background in the building, conducted measurements, etc. As a result of the research, the level of protection of the population living in the given area and the awareness of the current radiation situation will increase. In the future, it will be useful to study the radiation gamma background in other places, model the radiation pollution of the determined activity, and create an online map of the radiation background.
