Description
ISOCS measurements are useful methods for
obtaining valid information regarding radiological
contaminants in a variety of settings. In fact,
in many cases, they may be the only viable
means of measuring radioactive contamination.
CANBERRA offers a comprehensive in situ measurement
service designed to provide customers complete
radiological characterization for a variety
of applications.
Contaminants in the environment... in situ
measurements allow for large area or volume
measurements, thereby reducing discrete sampling
requirements.
Contaminants in waste... Waste containers and
materials may be assayed in situ, providing
valuable data for disposition and disposal.
Free Release of equipment and large objects
from controlled area’s is economically
handles with High Efficiency Ge detectors.
Waste can be Free Released in stead of send
to costly LLW repositories.
Contaminants in and on structures... in situ
measurements can support remedial action
activities by providing immediate assessment
of decontamination
efforts. Contaminants in systems and components...
Components such as pipes, pumps, tanks,
etc. may be characterized,
enabling the user to identify the source
and cause of contamination.
CANBERRA's in situ Characterization Service
is ideal for those who require rapid, cost
effective and site specific assistance.
It will meet the needs of the client
by developing
site specific efficiencies and libraries
for the job at hand. The client is not
required to set up or learn how to use
the instruments
or apply the techniques since CANBERRA
will provide a complete service. CANBERRA's
experienced
spectroscopists will collect and interpret
the data without the need of the client
dedicating personnel to the task.
CANBERRA's position as the leading supplier
of gamma spectroscopy equipment and services
provides assurance of reliable results.
CANBERRA utilizes its ISOCS calibration
software or
detector and geometry specific Monte
Carlo Neutron-Photon (MCNP) calibration
techniques
to achieve highly accurate measurements
without the need for collecting samples
and processing
them in laboratory conditions. A comprehensive
report detailing and supporting the measurements
is provided to document the calibrations
and results.
Service The in situ service meets customer needs
by setting up the measurement system
to address specific applications
and requirements.
The
CANBERRA ISOCS code has wide spread
acceptance and has been validated both
internally
and by many of its customers. Almost
any geometry
can be modeled to give accurate results
both qualitatively and quantitatively.
If required
MCNP can be used to supplement these.
CES has developed a service to assist
customers with characterization
of radiological contamination
in situ, using the CANBERRA InSpector
gamma spectroscopy system. The
service provides
the ability to perform high resolution,
quantitative gamma spectroscopy
in the field. These measurements
may save the customer time and
money when the
application requires rapid assessment,
or when conventional sampling and
laboratory analyses
would be costly if employed. NSG
utilizes the CANBERRA MCNP calculation
service
to develop
special geometry efficiencies when
needed.
