Tritium Monitor

Tritium Air Monitor: High performance portable survey monitor 

SENSITIVITY

The 400SBDγC is useful for measurements as low as 2 μCi/m3 . The new OTC electrometer, which measures to below 10-16 amperes combines low noise and high zero stability. Unlike other instruments, the 400 series instruments no longer require a front panel manual zero control. Thermally induced zero shifts of the electrometer and associated electronics have been eliminated.

RADON INTERFERENCE, NOISE RESPONSE 

For an unambiguous measurement of very low tritium a monitor must be able to ignore response to ambient radon. The 400SB series incorporates this capability and therefore produces accurate, fast and drift free measurements to nearly +1 μCi/m3 .

TOTAL GAMMA COMPENSATION 

Cruciform ionization chamber geometry provides nearly perfect gamma compensation regardless of photon energy, flux gradient or flux direction. Gamma compensation of the 400 series instruments is typically three orders of magnitude better than instruments using nested or side by side ionization chambers.

FAST RESPONSE 

Its exceptionally rapid response is uniquely due to its ability to ignore radon. The electronic time constant is only 10 seconds, the pneumatic time constant of about 12 seconds, for an overall time constant of only 15 seconds. Meter readings will reach 90 % of final value within 30 seconds to a step response of aspirated tritium.

FAST WARM UP, NO ZERO DRIFT 

After applying power, the initial transient “warm up” drift effects take less than a minute. Long term drifts have been eliminated, manual zero adjustments are no longer required.

HTO DISCRIMINATION (MODEL 400SBDγC-HTO) 

By addition of a desiccant column, this survey instrument will specifically measure HTO in the presence of other radioactive gases as well as background gamma. The desiccant can be regenerated repeatedly for reuse.

Autonomous Airborne Radiation Monitoring system

Complete UAV radiation mapping drone system US Nuclear UAV radiation mapping drone offers an accurate, affordable and versatile low-altitude aerial radiation detection vehicle which is an out of the box solution for anyone that needs to examine an area or patrol a location for radiation levels or contamination. The system gives you real-time location, measurement and mapping of radioactivity with isotope identification. UAV radiation and mapping drone: what do you get 1. Aerial unmanned drone A Small Unmanned Aircraft System (SUAS) with an all up weight less than 7.0 kg. This low total mass, coupled with the in-built redundancy of the aerial system represents a low risk of structural damage to buildings and the environment during its operation. This is in line with UK CAA guidelines. The drone has a number of supporting sensor: positioning fixing (Latitude and Longitude) by multi GNSS (GPS and Glonass), number of satellites and height above mean sea level (AMSL); tem...

NGM 202L™ (Gas Monitor)

The NGM 202L monitor continuously measures the volumetric activity of noble gas and tritium in a radioactive effluent gaseous samples. FEATURES: Dynamic gamma radiation compensation Compact and reliable Minimum periodic maintenance DESCRIPTION: The NGM 202L monitor forms part of the RAMSYS™ product line. It has been developed to continuously sample the volumetric activity of noble gas and tritium in a radioactive effluent gaseous sample. This monitor can operate as a stand alone device or in conjunction with a particulate monitor (ABPM 201™ monitor), iodine monitor (IM 201™ monitor) and with a high range noble gas monitor (NGM 203™ monitor) to form a very wide range monitoring system.

Determining the Source of Stream Toxins with Continuous Monitoring

Determining Stream Toxins with Water Quality and Level Data When researcher Wesley Gerrin gained access to a sediment toxicity lab in the Experimental Forest on the University of Georgia campus, he wanted to investigate an on-campus lake for any potential contamination issues. After his research was completed, he was fortunate enough to have some extra grant funding for the addition of a few samples from any location on campus, so he chose one of the most exciting sites on the University premises: Tanyard Branch. As Wesley said, “We ran the tests, and everything looked good, except for Tanyard Branch.” Tanyard Branch has been one of the most heavily monitored creeks in the Athens-Clarke County area for the last couple of decades due to contamination - it has a long history of abuse beginning in the 1700s. Native Americans long used the area as hunting and fishing grounds, but it was eventually seized by colonists. The people who then settled into the area opened botanical gard...
