Mirion’s On-Site Assay System (OSAS) is a modular system suitable for characterization of wastes in a wide range of containers and with a range of contents both homogeneous and non-uniform.
Features
- In-situ characterization for a wide range of containers and items.
- Easily installed at site location or mounted on trailer for mobile measurements.
- Full setup by Mirion team and options for full-service measurements, or operation by customer teams.
- Immediate reporting of results in plant-specified formats. • Suitable for Low Level Waste and Free-Release, or “Out Of Scope” waste.
- Easily and quickly reconfigurable as operational conditions change for different waste types, using industry-standard ISOCS software.
- Calibration without sources.
- Modular hardware and software, allowing cost-effective upgrades from existing equipment.
- Options for manual and automatic operation.
- Flexible operation, allowing high-accuracy measurements using advanced innovative ISOCS-based tools.
- Full integration with standard NDA2000 and Genie2000 software for operator familiarity and ease of training
Description
Mirion’s On-Site Assay System (OSAS) is a modular system suitable for characterization of wastes in a wide range of containers and with a range of contents both homogeneous and non-uniform.
The system is controlled manually with options for automated control of the turntable through a PLC. This allows a high degree of flexibility in the operation to suit all plant conditions and levels of operator expertise. Additionally, service measurements can be conducted by Mirion or other staff, allowing for full operations on site. With such a “full service” model, your local plant staff are required to provide support only to make waste containers available for assay and loading onto the turntable, and to provide quality control check sources where possible to minimize shipment burden
OSAS comprises an ISOCS characterized collimated High PurityGermanium Detector (or optional NaI detector, or other detector choice for specific applications) mounted on a lift mechanism to scan an item or waste container. The waste item is mounted on a turntable and is typically rotated continuously for uniform wastes in cylindrical containers, to provide good spatial averaging and minimize uncertainties. Optionally, the item
can be rotated to fixed positions to perform multiple measurements, for example 4 steps of 90 degrees for boxes.
