Description
Summary:The design of a KGK-2 γ-ray dose rate detector is described. The basic characteristics of the detector are presented. The readings of a KGK-2 gas-filled ionization chamber detector and VED-2 secondary-electron emission detector during power startup of BR-K1 and BR-1M reactors are compared. It is shown that by using KGK-2 and VED-2 detectors in combination the γ-ray dose rate can be measured in the interval 1 μGy/sec to 10 GGy/sec with the linear sections of the regulation curves overlapping to at least four decimal orders.
