Scanning systems
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.
Discover our scanning systems:
- Automated systems for characterization of radioactive containers and drums (AURAS 3000 and ADAMOS series)
- Spectrometric mobile station for characterization of radioactive drums (EASYSCAN)
- Spectrometric station with scintillators for characterization of radioactive waste (FREE-AND 16)
- Automatic monitoring system for pipes (PIPE SCANNER, PIPE SCANNER LITE)
- Contamination monitor for tools and surfaces (ARCHIMEDES II WiFi)
- Radiation portal monitor for excavation materials (ARCHIMEDES III)
- Contamination monitors for small objects (CARONTE and BOX COUNTER)
- Systems for monitoring contamination in hospital waste (MHOS HWM-P, MHOS HWM-S)
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.).
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 MHOS gamma monitors are designed to measure the level of radioactive contamination in hospital wastes while they are transported in carts inside small containers.
The ARCHIMEDES II WiFi is designed to perform fast measurements of the gamma activity of bags, containing potentially contaminated materials.
The FREE-AND 16 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 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 PIPE SCANNER LITE monitor is designed to easily perform surface contamination measurements of pipe sections coming from activities such as nuclear power plants decommissioning, or in general wherever a radiometric scanning of surfaces or pipes is needed.
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.
AURAS 3000 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.
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.
The ARCHIMEDES III radiation portal monitor is designed to measure the radioactivity level of excavation materials of various nature.
