Comparison of dosimeters and radiometers for the laic public

This work aims to compare the technical parameters of individual measuring devices (radiometers and dosimeters) for the general public with similar professional equipment used by SÚJB České Budějovice and HZS České Budějovice and based on the comparison to answer the research question whether dosimeters and radiometers are available for the general public. able to compete with similar equipment used by SÚJB České Budějovice and HZS České Budějovice. The practical part of the work is focused on the quantitative processing of selected technical parameters of all selected investigated devices using multicriteria analysis and their comparison using CLA analysis. Based on the mentioned methods, the aim of the work is fulfilled and the research question is answered. For comparison, he was selected from professionals as a similar device URAD 115 (HZS České Budějovice) and FH 40 G (SÚJB České Budějovice). The following device was chosen from the devices intended for the general public: Gamma Scout, RD1008, SOEKS 112, BR 6, BR 9B and VOLTCRAFT Gamma-Check-A. The results of multicriteria and CLA analysis showed that the investigated devices intended for the general public are not able to compete with professional devices URAD 115 and FH 40 G. It was found that the investigated devices intended for the general public are characterized by lower weight and ability to detect beta radiation. Furthermore, the fact that the Gamma Scout device is able to detect alpha radiation in addition to the above radiation. The results of the work contribute to the evaluation of the usability of the investigated devices for the purposes of SÚJB České Budějovice and HZS České Budějovice in solving a radiation emergency. It also helps to assess the quality of the devices examined
