Description
Design
The Yantar-S/SN monitors consist of pillars mounted opposite each other along the search area borders. The pillars contain gamma and neutron detectors (Yantar-SN monitors) or only gamma detectors (Yantar-S monitors), and electronics units. The side panels of the pillars have light and sound alarm devices.
Lead shields used for gamma detectors serve to enhance gamma detection efficiency.
The occupancy sensor indicates entrance of the object to and its exit from the search area.
The radiation monitor transfers data to the control panel or a PC with the application specific software installed.
The choice of a specific Yantar-S/SN model as well as agreement of customized solutions including single-pillar versions, is made in accordance with installation site conditions and customer’s requirements to the minimum detected quantities of radioactive and nuclear materials.
Values in Specification section are valid for the Yantar-SN dual-pillar radiation monitor with gamma and neutron channels.
Typical application:
As part of Radiation Monitoring Integrated Systems
As part of Integrated Safety Systems
