ELSE NUCLEAR developed, among the first players worldwide, a deep know-how in all the activities connected to decommissioning of nuclear power plants. This led the company to design and manufacture different solutions for radioactive waste characterization, which find their main application in nuclear power plants, sites being decommissioned, hospitals, and wherever there is a need of waste clearance before free release.
Up to date, ELSE NUCLEAR manufactured and installed since its foundation many scanning systems in all the nuclear sites in the Italian territory. More recently, active collaborations with international partners led the company to expand its customer network abroad.
ADAMOS is an automated segmented gamma scanning system, designed to characterise drums filled with radioactive waste. The system layout can be defined from the available options to meet specific requirements.
AURAS is an automated system designed to scan and characterise waste materials inside bags, boxes, drums, and B25 containers (density range: 100 – 2000 kg/m3). The system is equipped with up to four electro- or nitrogen-cooled HPGe detectors.
The EASYSCAN mobile station is a robust and handy system designed to perform an easy, fast and reliable spectrometric analysis of radioactive material contained in drums, where the fine spectroscopy provided by HPGe-based systems is not needed.
The FREE AND spectrometric station is a robust and handy system designed to perform spectrometric analysis of waste materials, where the fine spectroscopy provided by HPGe-based systems is not needed.
The ARCHIMEDES II is designed to perform fast measurements of the gamma activity of bags, containing potentially contaminated materials.
The mechanical structure is mounted on wheels to be easily handled, and a set of adjustable supports allow to stabilise the monitor.
The ARCHIMEDES III radiation portal monitor is designed to measure the radioactivity level of excavation materials of various nature.
The portal is composed, in its standard configuration, of two couples of large surface detectors (5000 cm2), each mounted on the sides of the mechanical structure.
The BOX COUNTER system is designed to perform a fast gamma contamination check of laundry, waste bags, tools and other small objects, to be placed inside a shielded measurement chamber (M.C.).
Measurement results, alarms and malfunctions are visualised by the control console and also signalled by a built-in alarm column. A digital scale allows to acquire the weight of the objects to be measured.
The CARONTE gamma contamination monitor is designed to easily measure the radioactivity level of small objects, such as boxes, tools or laundry bags, transported across a measurement area by a conveyor belt.
The scanning cycle and the measurement procedure are entirely controlled by the software installed on the control PC, which manages the PLC commands sequence.
The MHOS-S gamma contamination monitor is designed to easily measure the level of radioactive contamination in hospital wastes contained in small bins or bags.
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 PIPE SCANNER system is designed to perform a complete and accurate scanning of both the internal and external surfaces of pipes coming from decommissioning of nuclear power plants.
The PIPE SCANNER LITE monitor is designed to easily perform surface contamination measurements of pipe sections coming from activities such as nuclear power plants decommissioning, Oil&Gas industry, etc.
