Alpha and Beta Radioactive Sources

Alpha and Beta Radioactive Sources

Calibrate your fixed and mobile monitors with custom-designed Alpha and Beta radioactive sources tailored to your technical specifications, developed by a recognized expert in radiological protection.

    • Ensure the reliability of ambient radioactivity and effluent measurements in controlled areas
    • Perform precise and regular calibrations of your measurement instruments
    • Address the technical specificities of different monitor models and radionuclides
    • Improve responsiveness by relying on a partner able to provide sources tailored to your specific need
    • Design custom-made sources perfectly adapted to your equipment (iCAM, spectrometer, NaI, EDGAR, etc.): activity, geometry, matrix, and encapsulation are adjusted to your instruments to ensure optimal compatibility and reliable calibration.
    • Choose from a wide range of α, β, and γ radionuclides, covering activity levels from a few hundred Bq to several MBq: you benefit from a solution adaptable to your specific needs, regardless of the regulatory or technical context.
    • Save time and gain flexibility with our catalog of over 600 references: an existing source can often be modified to meet your criteria without starting from scratch.
    • Rely on comprehensive support: technical feasibility study, measurement uncertainty evaluation, verification of regulatory compliance (ASNR scope), and issuance of a COFRAC* calibration certificate if required.
    • Reduce your logistical burden with packaging and transport solutions tailored to the proposed sources, fully managed by LEA.
    • Access dedicated R&D support for your most specific requests: design of holders, testing of new matrices, on-site or LEA-based acceptance testing to ensure smooth and efficient implementation.
