Description

The Mirion Argos-AB family of Whole Body Surface Contamination Monitors provides the ultimate user-friendly operation, with thorough and reliable detection of external contamination on personnel working in nuclear environments.

The Argos-5AB and Argos-3AB feature our most advanced gas flow detectors optimized for the best possible alpha and beta response (along with minimizing the gamma response).

The detectors have been arranged in a configuration that minimizes dead space and provides optimal contour geometry and coverage for the occupant.

All Argos monitors use a sophisticated “fast following” background trending and release-limit algorithm to provide the best possible performance in a stable or varying radiation field.

With Mirion WebRemote software, an easy-to-use touch screen graphical user interface for industrial PC-based operation, results in improved health physics programs, better tracking of contamination and faster, more thorough personnel throughput at boundary points.

Excellent detector protection, modularity of components, and extensive diagnostics result in direct reductions in maintenance, repair, and operations costs.
