Soviet USSR Army Dosimeter<br>DKP-50A DKP50A<br>Dosimeter / Radiometer / Geiger Counter / Radiation Detector<br>Description<br>Dosimeter DKP-50A<br>was a dosimeter produced for the Soviet's Army during the cold war era.<br>Radiometer DKP-50A<br>indicates amount of radioactivity absorbed by the body. Each soldier was equipped in this device in case of nuclear conflict.<br>DKP-50A<br>was worn attached to pocket or belt by means of the retaining clip. A scale has range of 0-50R (R = Roentgen, a legacy unit of exposure of X-rays and gamma rays). 500R in 5h is usually lethal.<br>The<br>DKP-50A dosimeter<br>is designed to monitor the accumulated dose of radiation that an individual soldier has been exposed to.  It replaced the DKP-50 dosimeter that was used in the 1950's.  Like all dosimeters, the<br>DKP-50A<br>is a simple electrometer.  Inside the device there are two electrodes which are charged by means of an external electrical source.  Both of the electrodes within the device have the same charge and repel each other.  The charge on the electrodes is neutralized when ionizing radiation passes between the electrodes and the casing.  This reduction in the charge causes an electrode to move away from its start point, this movement can be seen against a scale when the user looks through the device.<br>The<br>DKP-50A radiometer<br>is constructed of machined aluminum and comes with a small clear plastic cap to protect the charging contacts.  This cap must be removed before the dosimeter can be charged and zeroed.<br>It's based on ionizing chamber that changes radioactivity radiation to an electric current, current discharges a capacitor that is also used as a power source. The device measures discharge of a capacitor over time. This is done by using a wire that accordingly changes its position and optic unit to make those results available for the operator<br>.<br>Purpose of Use<br>Measurement of gamma and X-ray radiation ambient dose equivalent (DE).<br>Interesting and informative video about radiation<br>What is Alpha, Beta and Gamma Radiation? - YouTube<br>Video will open in a new window<br>[isdntekvideo]<br>What is a Dosimeter? - YouTube<br>Video will open in a new window<br>[isdntekvideo]<br>Potential sources of radiation<br>Food (e<br>specially<br>berries and mushrooms)<br>Food (<br>especially<br>berries and mushrooms) will definitely accumulate radiation if grow in contaminated areas. These are not the best ingredients for your nutrition or home-made jam. Mushrooms tend to absorb radiation from soil as well. It is important to know that radiation which gets inside of our bodies is the most dangerous. Check radiation safety of your food (<br>especially<br>mushrooms and berries) and enjoy safe cooking.<br>Home and office<br>It is great to have excellent workplace in a comfortable office or have some rest sitting in your favorite chair at home. But is there any chance you can be exposed to radiation? Unfortunately, yes. Furniture can be made of radioactive wood as it absorbs radiation. Granite can have high radiation level as well. Check the radiation level of all your furniture.<br>Construction<br>Remember that construction materials can contain natural radionuclides. That is why when building, choose the materials carefully as they can pose a great threat to your health. When moving to a new place, be sure to check that no radiation is there.<br>Playground<br>Radiologically contaminated toys can harm your child’s health. Even a sandbox on a playground can pose a danger. Control radiation level around to be sure you chose a right place to play with your kids.<br>Cash<br>Cash can be radiologically contaminated for definite purposes. The most common one is to track money during special operations, but sometimes these banknotes can end up in our wallets. Even a small amount of radiologically contaminated banknotes can harm a large number of people. Be safe when deal with cash.<br>Garden<br>Radioactive fallouts may contaminate soils in any corner of the world. Be sure to check radiation level in your garden if you don’t want to raise contaminated fruits and vegetables. Radiation which gets inside of our bodies is the most dangerous.<br>Travelling<br>When travelling you can come across the places of buried radioact
