Information on the interpretation of ODL measuring results

Humans are permanently exposed to natural, external radiation that consists of a terrestrial and a cosmic component. The external radiation exposure at any given place remains largely constant. It is sometimes affected by external factors - like rain, snow and wind - and is subject to seasonal variations.

Design of an ODL probe

ODL probe: Design / Maintenance

The ODL measuring network consists of stationary probes using connections for power supply and for the transmission of data. In addition, "quasi-stationary" probes are also available. The stationary and quasi-stationary ODL probes consist of two Geiger-Müller counters and an electronic analysis system.
