Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents research on radiation control at nuclear enterprises working with α-active radionuclides. The focus of the research is on the registration of 239Pu radionuclides on hands surface. The experimental results show the possibility to create a turnstile for automatic monitoring the presence of α-active radionuclides on hands. Such a device can be used with a minimum helium consumption of 66 liters per hour in a measuring chamber with an open bottom of 5.4 liters.
