Technical Guidance

Here you will find data and articles on radiation shielding, frequently asked questions (FAQ), monitor performance, specific gamma ray constants, mathematical derivations, radiation protection widgets  - everything we have personally found useful from our own tool kit. New resources will be uploaded here from time to time.
