Description
Current legislation mandates the inspection and calibration of operational survey radiation monitoring instruments used in nuclear medicine, radiotherapy departments, and other fields utilizing ionizing radiation sources. To comply with national and international radiation protection standards, Morocco's National Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory provides reliable calibration results with high accuracy and covers various measurement ranges using attenuators provided by the automated Gamma G10 irradiator or validated beam qualities produced by the X-ray irradiator type X80–320 kV. This study aims to develop a digital graphical user interface using Python programming language, designed for calibrating radiation protection measuring instruments. The interface is intended to facilitate all operations and calculations related to determining calibration factors and measurement uncertainties in accordance with the ISO 4037 standard, ensuring minimal processing time and minimizing potential error sources. The interface enables calculations to be recorded, as well as the establishment and electronic archiving of the calibration certificate and the report in PDF format using the Hypertext Preprocessor FPDF library (PHP FPDF). With the development of this interface, multiple instruments can be processed per day with high accuracy, streamlining the calibration process and improving efficiency. • The importance of compliance with international standards to ensure the quality and reliability of measurements in radiation protection was examined. • Description of X-ray and Gamma-ray irradiators designed for the calibration of radiation protection measuring instruments within the Secondary Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory (SSDL) which is a member of the WHO/IAEA network within the National Center for Radiation Protection of Morocco • Graphical User Interface using python for the calibration of photon measurement instruments for radiation protection purposes was developped. © 2023 The Author(s)
