ELSE NUCLEAR range of products includes also radiation portal monitors developed to automatically scan vehicles, pedestrians or materials passing through, measuring the level of radioactivity and providing alarm warnings if a pre-set threshold is trespassed. Radiation portal monitors have been employed at industries, steel plants, scrap metal dealers, nuclear power plants, research reactors, particle accelerator facilities, hospitals.
The GALILEO radiation portal monitor is designed to automatically scan the load of vehicles (trucks or rail wagons on weighting stations) passing through its structure, and to detect any radioactive contamination due to the presence of gamma emitting radionuclide.
The standard 2UV configuration is composed of 2 large plastic scintillator detectors, an electronic desktop rack and a PC control console.
GALILEO 9900P is a continuous gamma monitoring system designed to easily assess the contamination of moving materials, e.g. transported by a conveyor, through a fast gamma radiation detection performed by a large plastic scintillator. GALILEO 9900P main application is the monitoring of scrap metal, steel plates, or foundry dust, but it can be employed wherever a continuous gamma monitoring of moving materials is required.
The PPM pedestrian radiation portal monitor is designed to monitor persons passing through the device for detection of smuggled radioactive sources or possible contamination.
The system features a portal mechanical structure, with two columns on the sides of the measuring area, each containing one plastic scintillator detector with a large sensitive area.
The MHOS P15 radiation monitor is designed to perform automatic gamma contamination measurements on the materials passing through the transit area defined by its portal-shaped structure.
The main application of MHOS P15 is to measure the radioactive contamination level in hospital waste.
