PSCoffer a range of Uranium Enrichment Monitors to suit every organizational need. Based on International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) standard measurement protocols, these systems can perform a variety of functions from “go / no go” classification through to cylinder verification and process control.Two measurement options are available depending on conditions: Low Resolution Enrichment Meter (NaIdetector) using the “Infinite Thickness” method and High Resolution Gamma Spectroscopy (with HPGe)using the “Response Function” method. The latter provides high accuracy in the presence of interfering isotopes,while the former provides a simple push-button approach that is well suited for “dirty” containers with thorium plate-out. Using the TechniCART™ high performance mobile platform, the detector system can be positioned near to a container of interest and results are displayed on the LCD screen or laptop computer within minutes. The systems provide a quick &easymethodfor operatorsto classifyuranium enrichment in drums, crates and cylinders (including 48Y and 30B) Applications: - IAEA Verification - Cylinder Measurements - Process Control - Waste Disposition and Sentencing - “Go / No Go” Enrichment Determination - Homeland Security - Criticality Control
- Rapid set-up and deployment; fast counting - Includes TechniCART™ mobile rugged platform - Accurate / stable positioning of detector - Quick release of detector for hand-held operation - Fully integrated rugged laptop computer - High performance digital electronics LCD screen with backlight - Integrated collimator & stabilization check-source - Simple push button operation - High performance batteries for extended field operation capability~ 10 hours - Two options available: -- Low Resolution Enrichment Meter (NaI) -- High Resolution Response Function (HPGe) - Uses standard IAEA measurement techniques - Performs in the presence of interfering peaks and high background. - Corrects for differences between calibration standard composition and container contents.
