Remote - Controlled Collimated System Gamma Locator for Remote Measurements of Radioactivity Distribution – 10388

Preliminary work has started for the decommissioning of the research reactor MR at the RRC «Kurchatov Institute». One of stages of preliminary work for the decommissioning of a research reactor is the carrying out of radiation survey. An automatic system Gamma locator for the remote measurement of radioactivity in the reactor areas was developed. The «gamma locator» is a spectrometric system designed for remote measurement of radioactive contamination. The system consists of a collimated gamma detector, color CCD video camera и control block all is fastened to a rotator mounted on a stand (tripod). The instrument is connected to compact computer fastened to a rotator too. The instrument and rotator are controlled by operator from computer connected with system via wireless Wi-Fi line or by twisted-pair cable. Operator works at a safe position. First, system will be used for radiation survey, and when works with radwaste will be started (next year) it will be used for control of operations.
