Features

The compact size and remote operation capability of the CSM-GR1 monitor allows it to fit into small spaces while the operator is at a safe distance away
Results available immediately – no waiting for sample collection, processing and analysis in the count room
Data shows short term variations in nuclide concentrations that are not discernible with typical 4 or 8 hour grab samples
No cooling fans in the electronics eliminates risk of internal contamination
Quick installation for minimal dose, with no additional dose incurred during operation
User can easily create new efficiency calibrations (pipes, tanks, stacks, etc.) on the PC and upload them to the Data Analyst™ module for immediate use
Compatible Mirion WRM2™ Wireless modules and Horizon^® Supervisory System software
GR1+ unit, shield and PC can be used without the DA module for conventional in-situ spectroscopic analysis of plant components:
- Waste assay – containers and objects
- Evaluation of spills or leaks
- Assay of filters
- As part of an Emergency Response Kit

Description

The CSM-GR1 Monitor includes:

GR1+ Compact CZT Spectrometer with 2% FWHM for easy nuclide ID
GR1-SHIELD Tungsten Shield and 3 collimators - only 8.6 kg (19 lb.)
GR1-ACC Carbon fiber tripod & carrying case (optional)
Data Analyst module with:
- Trusted Genie 2000™ and ISOCS™ algorithms for data processing and analysis
- Ability to perform multiple analyses simultaneously with different count times, nuclide libraries, and analysis parameters
- Web-based GUI for control and data review
- Support for Mirion EcoGamma™ monitor if local dose rate also needed along with spectral data
- Wired Ethernet, USB and wireless communications
- GPS for environmental measurement location coordinates
- Internal memory for local storage of months of spectral results
- Also compatible with:
  - Lynx^® DSA and HPGe detectors
  - Osprey^® Tube Base MCA and scintillation detectors
PC or Tablet for set-up, results viewing and data archival
- Requires Genie 2000 and ISOCS software for data reanalysis or generation of ISOCS geometry models
- Allows user to quickly generate new efficiency calibrations using ISOCS software
- PC connection not necessary for data acquisition as Data Analyst module starts operation upon power up

Applications for which the CSM-GR1 monitor excels include:

Determining migration of nuclide species in primary coolant during operation and shutdown
Measurement and tracking of radioactive liquid or gas effluents
Processing operations such as water clean-up, filter build-up or chemical decontamination
Waste processing such as direct resin bed measurements and waste container assay
Nuclide identification/quantification in high dose rate glove box measurements
Emergency response inside or outside the facility

The CSM-GR1 monitor is the perfect solution for various in situ measurement applications in and around your facility. Its real-time results can augment and/or replace grab sampling and lab counting processes, thus reducing dose and costs while increasing safety.
