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
