18. 9- About the inventory of ionizing radiation sources
- RAIS versions used by INSTN –Madagascar
: RAIS 3.0 and RAIS 3.0 with SQL Server Extensions
: RAIS 3.1 Web
Since 2015 until now, INSTN – Madagascar uses the RAIS version 3.3 web.
- We have made Customizations especially on Manufacturers and Models of :
Radioactive sources (Sealed and unsealed sources).
Radiation generators
Associated equipments
For the inventory of ionizing radiation sources, we also use an excel version and a manual version.
