Purpose and operation mode

Radiometer is aimed to measure of volume activity of radioactive aerosols which are caused by artificial (technogenic) alpha- and beta-emitting nuclides in the air.

The technical features of radiometer meet the requirements International Electrotechnical Commission series 761 (p.1,2) «Equipment for continuous monitoring of radioactivity in gas emissions» and IEC 61578.

The operation mode is based on analyse of the energy distribution of particles emitted by radionuclides which has left on the filter in the result of pumping air through it.

Radiometer provides measurement of volume activity of radioactive aerosols in the combined (for operational control) and separated (to determine the daily emission) modes.

 Certificate

To aspirate of aerosols and measure of accumulated activity on the filter are made simultaneously in the combined mode, and the value of the aerosol volume activity is calculated according to the algorithms of detection, accumulation and average hourly measurements.

To measure of accumulated activity of aerosols is made after sampling in the separated mode.

Application areas

Continuous automatic control of concentration of radioactive aerosols in the independent mode or as a part of automation radiation monitoring systems in the air at nuclear power and industry facilities:

  • workplaces;
  • ventilation systems.

Operation mode:

  • a stationary measuring device with own pump block or with work from external sampling line;
  • a portable measuring device on a trolley with pump block;
  • a point of continuous control in a radiation control system with ability of transfer data to a local network.

Features:

  • silicon spectrometric detectors;
  • compensation of the contribution of radon radiation and external gamma background;
  • built-in air flowmeter;
  • communication interface RS-485;
  • work with own pump block or with external sampling line, control of solenoid valves when working with external sampling line;
  • economical movement of the tape by the frame;
  • control of tape breakage and filter clogging;
  • setting by means of the console and notebook;
  • ability of connection external block of indication and alarm.
