In any radiation emergency, it may be necessary to monitor large numbers of people for internal contamination resulting from inhalation/ingestion of radionuclides released from the accident. The National Radiation Emergency Medical Center of the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences constructed a mobile radiobioassay laboratory for rapid field-based monitoring of internal contamination. The main features of the mobile laboratory were designed and the results of performance were tested for rapid monitoring in this paper. We found that maximum throughput for internal contamination monitoring using the whole body counter installed in the laboratory was about 200 people per day. The minimum detectable activities were estimated for the in-vivo and in-vivo radiobioassay systems in the mobile unit. This mobile unit will improve the population monitoring capabilities for internal contamination of individuals affected following nuclear or radiological emergencies.
