Short description
Monitors designed for quantitative and qualitative characterization of radioactive waste contained in drums. Suitable for total activity evaluation, spatial distribution analysis and free-release measurements.

Applications

• Nuclear facilities and power plants
• Waste management and interim storage
• Decommissioning and remediation projects

Key Features

• Monitor configuration adaptable to customer requirements
• Division of drum volume into analysis segments
• Spectrometric analysis for each volume segment
• Peak attenuation correction
• Integrated drum weighing
• Optional Fast-Scan function for accelerated measurements
• Detector with optional adjustable collimator
• Integrated control and evaluation software (WAMIS)

Description
The WAM-200 series is intended for the quantitative and qualitative characterization of radioactive waste deposited in drums, covering overall activities from 3 kBq to 1 TBq for Cs-137. The WAMIS evaluation software enables assessment of total drum activity and its spatial distribution. WAM-200 systems can be tailored to customer requirements for different drum sizes, waste types, activity ranges and handling workflows.
