Abstract :

The new experimental setup for radiobiological studies using low energy X-ray beams emitted by diffraction X-ray tube (C-tech tube, no. 9430 922 00291, PANalytical, Holland) created at Jan Kochanowski University, Institute of Physics, Kielce, Poland. Radiological protection for this system was determined, thanks to simulation and measurements. MonteCarlo (MC) calculation was performed using Fluka 2011 version 2c.4 code. Measurements were done using data registered by semiconductor microspectrometer SPEC500 (Ritec Ltd., Latvia). MC calculation and measurements, showed effective dose values around experimental setup. The registered total effective dose was equal to 3.4 mSv per year. This value is lower than 6 mSv per year which means that new experimental system fulfills expectations for radiological devices in Poland.
