Jan. 29, 1963 - One of the modernst radio-activity-measuring-departments... has gotten the National Chemical Institute of Research in Stuttgart. In the new rooms of the measuring-department by modernst instruments food and drinking-water can be tested for radio-activity respectively Alpha -, Beta- and Gamma-rays. Because of the great sensibility of the ton-heavy measuring instruments the head-room must be full-climaticated and the bringing up of current had to be specially secured. So besides of a chemical - and isotopes- laboratory an air-lock at the entry of the department is one of the most important equipments. The results of the department is one of the most important equipments. The results of the measuring - department shall be evaluated for the medical service of the Home Office and further they should be for the disposal of the National Research-Ministery for the radio-activity-news, which eventuallyhave to be given out in the distance of 10 days. A special summary jurisdiction for the kind of catastrophe makes possible an immediate determination of the dangerous radionuclide in the kind and number. This is very important, because by food there are by the general and summary measuring no conclusion regarding an acute endangering.
