Radiation license holders in Victoria have recently received correspondence from the Department of Health and the Australian Radioactive Waste Agency regarding completing the Common National Inventory of Radioactive Waste survey. The purpose of this survey is to create a master inventory of all radioactive waste in Australia.
A radiation management plan provides the safety map for any organisation which utilises radiation within their practices. Many industries use radiation for precision detection, measurement and quality control applications. Additionally, a radiation management plan must be in place for any organisation involved in the safe transport and storage of radiation. This would be applicable for dangerous goods transport providers and for any organisation whose employees work with or around radiation in the field.
Radioactive products play an important role in our modern age. Their use is applicable across a range of industries including manufacturing, mining and medicine.
Specifically, this material is essential in the advanced diagnosis and treatment of some cancers. While these products are used worldwide, the packages within which they are transported must meet specific requirements.
Bertin’s SaphyGate G range of radiation portal monitors is optimised to detect radioactivity in trucks, trains and cargo. This system is compliant with international standards, including IEC62022, and offers a protection grade of IP 65.
Radiation portal monitors are essential for the detection and prevention of the movement of contaminated material. This device offers security to a wide range of industries including metal recycling, mining, border control and facilities which contain radioactive sources.
This highly sensitive system is a vanguard in the screening of radioactivity with its ability to measure and determine radioactivity separate to background levels. Thereby, providing highly effective control of vehicles moving into or out of an area.
The SaphyGate G range of radiation portal monitors are detection monitors positioned on two pillars, which automatically screen vehicles for radioactivity.
