Short description
The WAM-300 is a waste assay monitor equipped with a sealed transmission radionuclide source for quantitative and qualitative characterization of radioactive waste in drums. It supports Cs-137 activity measurements from 3 kBq to 1 TBq per drum and can be configured for free-release screening.

Key Features

• Monitor configuration tailored to customer requirements
• Division of measured waste drum into volume segments for localized analysis
• Spectrometric analysis performed for each volume segment
• Peak attenuation correction for improved accuracy
• Integrated drum weighing system
• Measurement of material density inside the drum
• Optional Fast-Scan measurement mode for accelerated surveys
• Detector available with optional adjustable collimator
• Integrated control software for operation and data analysis

Description
The WAM-300 series is designed for quantitative and qualitative characterization of radioactive wastes deposited in standard waste drums. For Cs-137 the intended overall activity measurement range is from 3 kBq up to 1 TBq per drum. The system uses a sealed transmission radionuclide source to correct for non-homogeneous material distribution within the drum; Eu-152 is standard, with Se-75 or other nuclides available on request. The monitor can be customized for different drum types and sizes, activity ranges and handling workflows, enabling reliable drum-by-drum characterization and optional free-release measurements.

Applications

• Nuclear facilities
• Waste management
