SVHD(/W)™

Smart Very High Dose Probe

The SVHD(/W) probe delivers exceptional dose rate measurement capabilities — optimized for safe, precise navigation through challenging environments, ensuring reliable performance in nuclear decommissioning and underwater applications.

Tag Features

  • H*(10) dose rate equivalent measurement from 1 mSv/h to 1000 Sv/h
  • High cumulative dose live span
  • Part of the proven Canberra™ Smart Probes (CSP™) family
  • Calibration via PC software
  • Waterproof to 8 atm in borated water (SVHD/W)
  • Plug-and-play functionality
  • Small diameter for bore pipework fit or S-shape configuration (SVHD)
  • Easy to integrate into third-party systems

Description

The SVHD(/W) probe is capable of measuring extremely high dose rates up to 1000 Sv/h, and can withstand high cumulative dose of up to 5 kSv. It features a minimalistic design in the detector head, which is exposed to high dose-rate fields, while a remotely located smart electronic box, attached via a 50-meter cable reel, incorporates all CSP functionalities. This setup allows for adjustable distancing between the detector and the host meter, facilitated by the easy deployment of the cable.

SVHD(/W) is available in two configurations designed for specific applications:

  • SVHD/W for spent fuel inspection in pools: IP68 rated, waterproof up to 8 atmospheres in borated water.
  • SVHD for dismantling and decommissioning tasks: IP64 rated with a small diameter of 11 mm to facilitate passage through shield plugs.

Additionally, the SVHD/W probe includes a ballast weight, making it suitable for underwater measurements in the cooling pools of Nuclear Power Plants or Fuel Recycling Plants.
