Environmental monitoring systems

Environmental monitoring systems logo

ELSE NUCLEAR has been historically involved in the design and manufacturing of a broad range of products for environmental monitoring systems for a wide range of customers: nuclear power plants, regional and national environmental agencies, universities, research centres, particle accelerator facilities, etc.

Up to date, ELSE NUCLEAR has more than 3000 detection units integrated in environmental monitoring systems, installed in over 40 countries operating since the ‘90s worldwide.

Gamma Dose Rate Detectors

Ion-Chamber-Based Gamma Monitoring Units

NAUSICAA is a gamma radiation monitor based on an ion chamber, available in two versions: IC-T for environmental use and IC-T-PF for pulsed fields. It integrates detector, electrometer, and CPU, with display, buzzer, and LEDs. Parameters and data are stored internally and configurable via keyboard or 5700 sMON. Housed in a 3U 63HP box, it can connect to a PC via Ethernet or serial. Versions include IP54/IP65 housings and the ICP-T model, managed by a SATURN ratemeter.

Geiger-Mueller-based Gamma Detectors

Else Nuclear offers GM-1 (single tube, up to 1 mSv/h) and MERCURY (dual tube, up to 1 Sv/h) Geiger-Müller detectors, both with energy-compensated tubes in aluminium housings. Paired with the SATURN ratemeter, they form modular monitoring units managed via the 5700 sMON software. Optional features include stand-alone PC connectivity, IP65 protection for outdoor use, and the PS-ZB module with battery power, ZigBee wireless link, and GPS support.

Neutron Dose Rate Monitors

Neutron REM Counter for pulsed fields

LUPIN BF3 is an environmental monitoring unit for neutron H*(10) measurements, with unique excellent performance for neutron detection in pulsed fields.

Ratemeters and Control Units

Digital Ratemeters

The SATURN ratemeter is a compact acquisition and control unit, designed for managing and processing signals from any ELSE NUCLEAR connected detector.

Mobile Monitoring Stations

Gamma-Neutron Mobile Monitoring Station

SATURN 5702 is a mobile monitoring station for gamma and neutron dose rates, equipped with ICP-T/ICP-T-PF and LUPIN BF3 detectors. Mounted on a customizable trolley, it includes an ALU alarm column and supports remote detector use up to 20 m. The detectors connect to a 19” rack with two SATURN ratemeters. The system can interface with external devices via relays and is remotely managed via 5700 sMON software over Ethernet or RS485/422.

Monitoring Networks & Software

Visualization and Processing Software for Monitoring Networks

5700 sMON is a Windows-compatible software for real-time control and display of ELSE NUCLEAR environmental monitoring systems. It manages detector networks via Ethernet or RS485, logging dose rates and system events, and allowing full parameter configuration. The interface includes four intuitive windows. Data are archived locally and shared via LAN. An optional ALU alarm column summarizes the status of all units. The software is modular and fully customizable.
