Research and educational inspectorial control complex

Summary
In training and education, the complex is used to implement
training programs for technical specialists in the field of inspection
technologies, as well as to upgrade the skills and retraining
of specialists in the field of non-destructive methods of monitoring
and radiation safety of devices generating ionization radiation.

Inspectorial control complex with betatron-type accelerator MIB-9
1 - box with betatron-type accelerator, 2 - collimator, 3 - detector portal,
4 -detectors horizontal ruler, 5 - detectors vertical line, 6 - shelf with testing material, 7 – process control room

Application
Our project is used to carry out investigations in the field of digital radiography, processing and visualization of control results. It is worth paying attention to the fact of mode realization of obtaining images in several energy ranges (dual energy method). It allows to identify the substances of the verification object by density and atomic number, also it makes possible to detect narcotic and explosive substances.

The main technical characteristics
The energy of the radiation source is 4-9 MeV.
864 detectors.
The distance from the radiation source to the detector array is 4.2 m.
The height of the scanned object is up to 2.5 meters.
The crystal size of the detector is 5 × 6 × 50 mm3.
3 mm resolution in the center of the scanned object.

Advantages
Radiation burden reduction on control object and on support personnel.
Ability to use dual energy method, which allows to recognize specific types of substances in the object of control.
