Radiological Protection Technical Unit
- Measurement of levels of surface contamination and radiation in radioactive facilities.
- Counted using:
- Liquid scintillation (14C, 3H, other radionuclides).
- Solid scintillation (RIA’s, 125I, other radionuclides).
- Electronic autoradiography
- Measurement of radiation levels and of the quality of X-ray devices
- X-ray radiography inside a booth
- Handling of radioactive products in vitro, in vivo and in cell cultures in authorized radioactive facilities.
- Irradiation of small animals and biologic samples at controlled doses of gamma radiation.
- Training in radiological protection at various different levels (supervisor course recognized by the Nuclear Safety Council, twice-yearly training courses, etc.)
- Drafting and processing of authorization documents for radioactive and X-ray facilities
- Consulting and management of radiological protection systems for radioactive and X-ray facilities
- Inspection of contamination and radiation monitors
- Hermeticity monitoring of encapsulated sources
- Monitoring of levels of surface contamination and radiation in radioactive facilities
- Quality control and measurement of radiation levels of X-ray equipment
- Quantification of radioactive samples
- Homogeneous irradiation of different kinds of “in vitro” biologic samples, as well as small animals, used in biomedical and sanitary research fields.
- Quality control of medical X-rays
- Quality control of industrial and research X-rays, among others
- Drafting and processing of authorizations for radioactive and X-ray facility and staff licensing
- Radiological protection training courses
- Quantification of radioactive samples
- Controlled irradiation services of all types of liquid or solid samples (small-scale) applied in research areas such as biomedicine, oncology, immunology (myeloablation) and organ transplantation (immunosuppression), either on cell cultures, hemoderivatives or mouse.
- Inactivation of cell proliferation
- Production of conditioned culture medium
- Studies on the reconstitution of immunocompromised animals
- Immune system suppression for transplantations
- Controlled irradiation services of all kinds of liquid or solid samples (small-scale) in research areas involved in genetic improvement in agricultural engineering and botany (haploid production)
- Seed irradiation for genetic improvement in agri-food industry
