BDBG-09 is used both within data panels and automated systems of radiation monitoring to measure ambient dose equivalent rate of gamma radiation.

A standard version of the detecting unit is produced with a built-in Geiger-Muller counter. A modification based on the scintillation detector is also available. Upon customer request the BDBG-09 housing can be made of duralumin or stainless steel. A special version of the detecting unit with waterproof housing has been developed for use in waterbodies and artificial reservoirs.

BDBG-09 detecting unit has been successfully used for many years at nuclear power plants in Ukraine, France, Bulgaria and Korea.
