Description
Application
- Certification of radioactive waste at the places of their generation and processing
- Inspection of radioactive waste in storage areas
- Quality control and inventory monitoring of products of nuclear facilities
Design
The SKG-03 systems include spectrometric and dosimetric measuring channels, as well as an operator’s workstation with installed specialized software and a set of constituent parts.
A spectrometric channel is one or several spectrometric paths based on detecting devices of the same type or a combination of detecting devices of different types.
To construct spectrometric paths in the systems, spectrometric digital gamma radiation detecting devices (UDS-GC) are used, based on various types of detectors: scintillation detectors based on NaI and LaBr3 crystals, semiconductor CZT (cadmium-zinc-tellurium) and HPGe (pure germanium) detectors.
The dosimetric measuring channel of the system is used to measure the ADER, and its configuration is determined by the requirements for the ADER measurement range.
The set of constituent parts ensures structural compatibility with external design solutions for radioactive waste storage and certification sites and various types of radioactive waste packaging. This set may, among other things, include weighing equipment, systems for automated or manual movement of detectors, rotating devices for radioactive waste packages, systems for reading and applying barcodes, distance meters, alarm and video surveillance systems, etc. The set does not affect the main metrological characteristics of the system measuring channels, and its composition depends on the customer’s technical requirements.
The specific design of an SKG-03 system is determined by the type and number of spectrometric paths (see details) and a particular set of constituent parts. Our relevant departments will help you to construct the optimal measuring system meeting all your requirement that you can state in this questionnaire.
Features
- A thoughtful choice of architecture for a family of radioactive waste inventory systems, allowing you to select equipment to meet your tasks: measuring any types of radioactive waste packages and any categories of waste
- Determination of the composition of gamma emitting radionuclides and their specific activity
- Spatial averaging of measurement results thanks to automatic rotation of radioactive waste packages and simultaneous measurement of gamma spectra (depending on the set of constituent parts)
- Application of attenuation filters when measuring high-level waste
- Possibility of automatic measurement of the mass of inspected radioactive waste (depending on the set of constituent parts)
- Measurement of the gamma dose rate of inspected radioactive waste at specified distances (0.1 m, 1 m) from the surface of the radioactive waste package
- Categorization of inspected barrels with radioactive waste basing on the results of specific activity calculation
- Generating a report with measurement results and outputting a report to a printer at the operator’s request
- Saving measurement results in the form of spectra and calculated activity values in the database linked to the identification number of the barrel with radioactive waste
