Lablogic Systems has revealed that the radiological services team at RPS Group is using its radiation contamination monitors in building decommissioning applications.
The company is using the Rad-Monitors for radiological surveying associated with decommissioning of buildings in which radioactive materials may have been used, such as monitoring the interior of laboratory fume cupboards.
The instruments are also used in support of ground investigation work.
According to Lablogic, the RPS Group selected the monitors due to their robust design, single-button operation and low cost.
Lablogic offers three Geiger Muller-based Rad Monitors for detection of 14C, 32P, 33P and 35S: the general-purpose GM1, with a 28.5mm (1.125in) tube detector; the GM2, which has a larger end window (45mm/1.75in); and the GM2-P for monitoring surfaces, with a pancake probe and a large-diameter GM tube.
Completing the range is the high-sensitivity, sodium iodide crystal-based SD10, which has a scintillation probe for detecting X-rays as well as Gamma emitters such as 125I and 99Tc.
