In this study, radiation shielding properties of soda-lime-silica glasses doped with different food materials such as the egg shell and the peanut shell powders were investigated. Egg shell and peanut shell powders were obtained by grinding of waste shells in an agate mortar. The SLS glass samples with varying egg shell/peanut shell content were produced by melting. The measurements have been performed using the gamma spectrometer, containing a 3" × 3" NaI (Tl) detector, and connected to a full featured 16K channel Multi Channel Analyzer provided by ORTEC/MAESTRO-32 software.

The production of ²²²Rn depends on the activity concentrations of ²²⁶Ra in the earth's crust, in soil, rock and water. Radon concentration levels are strongly affected by atmospheric influences such as rainfall, real humidity, temperature and barometric pressure, rather than by chemical processes, as it is an inert gas. In particular the exhalation of radon is positively correlated with moisture content, temperature and negatively with pressure, so that these factors must be considered in the determination of exhalation rates in environmental measurements. In this study, radon concentrations in soil gas were continuously monitored for nine months in ten minutes periods, using AlphaGUARD system and the fluctuations of radon concentration were compared with the regional meteorologic data, using time graphs.

The J-PET detector, based on long plastic scintillator strips, was recently constructed at the Jagiellonian University. It consists of 192 modules axially arranged into three layers, read out from both sides by digital constant-threshold front-end electronics. This work presents preliminary results of measurements of the spatial resolution of the J-PET tomograph performed with ²²Na source placed at selected position inside the detector chamber.
