Category: Characterization > Monitors > Radiation Monitors
Reference # : Model No :

The Canberra Argos 5WBAB Whole Body Contamination Monitor, equipped with the Zeus option, is a state-of-the-art solution for detecting external contamination on personnel in nuclear environments. Designed with advanced gas flow detectors, it provides optimal alpha and beta detection performance while minimizing gamma response interference. The Argos line combines user-friendly operation with precision and reliability, ensuring personnel safety and compliance in demanding environments. Its Zeus option enhances functionality, making it a robust choice for organizations requiring thorough contamination monitoring.

Benefits

The Argos 5WBAB offers unparalleled detection efficiency and accuracy due to its advanced gas flow detectors. Its "fast following" background trending and release-limit algorithm ensures dependable performance even in varying radiation fields. By addressing historical trade-offs in gasless detector technology, Mirion has optimized operational costs without compromising detection capabilities, resulting in shorter count times and better uniformity compared to traditional systems. These features make the Argos 5WBAB a cost-effective and high-performing solution for critical monitoring needs in nuclear facilities.

Limitations

While the Argos 5WBAB provides excellent detection capabilities, its reliance on gas flow detectors may result in higher operational costs compared to newer technologies like plastic scintillation detectors. Additionally, the system's advanced algorithms and features may require specialized training for optimal use, potentially increasing the initial setup time. Lastly, although the Zeus option enhances the system's functionality, it may add to the overall complexity and cost, making it less accessible for smaller operations with limited budgets.
