The primary standard measuring facility for the unit of the absorbed dose rate of beta radiation in tissue for the field of radiation protection (low dose rates at great distances from the radiation source) comprises a volume extrapolation ionization chamber, a highly sensitive charge measuring system, a highly precise voltage source for the chamber voltage, a distance meter for measuring the chamber depth and instruments for measuring the parameters of the environment (temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity of the air). Control of the measuring assembly and data acquisition are ensured by a software program installed on a PC.
