Ambient dose equivalent rate in the environment of objects and materials

Abstract

Measurement of ambient dose equivalent rate in the environment of objects and materials is a dosimetric measurement which is carried out by controlling the radioactivity of goods during import, export and transit. The procedure must be carried out in order to prevent illegal traffic of radioactive and nuclear material across the border. The dosimetric measurements of goods at one border crossing, which are carried out relying on legal regulations, are presented.
