Measuring the volumetric activity of radioactive inert gases in NPP emissions is one of the essential tasks of the radiation monitoring at NPP. The present article describes the complex UDGB-46R developed at SNIIP for recording the volumetric activity of radioactive inert gases in the range 103–1017 Bq/m3. Tests confirm its stated metrological characteristics. It includes sample extraction utilities, measurement channels, and a control block.
