ANTECH - Model G3102-4216 - Excavator Mounted Bucket Assay System - EMBASSY - Datasheet

The ANTECH excavator mounted bucket assay system (EMBASSY) model G3102-4216 is a system designed to measure the radioactive contents of an excavator bucket. It can be employed to detect, measure and segregate radionuclide contamination in soil, gravel and rubble.The contaminates may include naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) such as Ra-226 and activation and fission products such as Co-60 and Cs-137. The EMBASSY system was developed in partnership with Studsvik. The EMBASSY unit is mounted on the front of an excavator for deployment in the field. The assay is performed with a large volume spectroscopic scintillation detector which is housed in a shadow shield. The great advantage of the EMBASSY system is that contaminated soil is segregated at the source. Uncontaminated material may be returned to the excavation site and no further handling is required.
