STACK ACTIVITY MONITORING SYSTEM
Cyclotron Stack Activity Monitoring System :
This system designed and offered by ‘Nucleonix Systems’ is primarily meant to measure the radioactivity release levels from the stack into the atmosphere. Cyclotrons are commonly used for production of radioactive isotopes, utilized for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and other purposes. During the isotopes production process, there are routine releases of nonhazardous amounts of radioactive isotopes into atmosphere. The activity concentration of radioactive effluents, released into the atmosphere is subjected to restrictions by national regulators based on international recommendations. Uncontrolled isotope emission through the ventilation system would increase the radiation hazard potential to nearby population. In order to control and prevent such emissions, monitoring and assessment of the released activity concentration is required.
Stack activity monitoring system offered, consists of the following sub-systems namely –
i) Smart G.M. Probe based Stack Monitor.
ii) Smart Gamma Scintillation Probe based Stack Monitor.
iii) Air flow meter.
