Arktis - Model V2000 -Connect Radiation Portal Monitor
Radioactive sources are often used in technical and medical applications. Around the world, thousands of these sources are disposed of inadvertently or criminally, ending up in recycling facilities, waste disposal sites, and steel mills pro- cessing scrap metal. Arktis offers a solu- tion to protect such facilities and their personnel from the risk of contamination, thereby ensuring compliance with appli- cable regulations.
Radioactive sources pose a health risk if they enter the recycling loop or are accidentally melted down during steel production. Strict regulatory requirements, aiming to reduce the risk of contamination, require the installation of radiation meas- urement systems in the plants concerned and a safety culture related to the subject.
Arktis’ solution
Arktis’ solution is first and foremost cus- tomer-friendly, reliable, and simple. Arktis offers an intuitive web user interface in the latest version V2000 Connect, which is easy to use. The V2000 Connect was specifically developed to meet the needs of recycling plants, steel mills and waste incineration plants. It can be expanded with additional detectors and therefore offers optimum investment protection in the event of future tightening of radiation protection compliance requirements.
Why Arktis? What do our customers say?
“We at the public institution GEVAG chose the V2000 portal from the Swiss company Arktis Radiation Detectors because this solution meets all legal and GEVAG- specific requirements. Furthermore, the support from Switzerland with a short response time, represents a great added value for us”, Wolfgang Bux, Quality Manager / SiBe at GEVAG.
