Helgeson - Model HS-DRUM -Waste Characterization System for Drums

The HS-DRUM is an advanced waste scanning system specifically designed for the detailed evaluation of activity distribution within waste drums. This system is equipped with multiple detectors such as HPGe and NaI, along with a dose rate meter. It is engineered to provide a comprehensive characterization by utilizing a multi-channel analyzer for spectrum analysis, a rotating table for enhanced operational flexibility, and a roller conveyor for streamlined processing. The system includes a unique frisking mechanism for acquiring wipe samples, and lead collimators are used to optimize detector performance. Calibration dummies with varied sources ensure system accuracy, supported by sophisticated software that handles spectrum analysis, activity calculations, and features a QA module. Furthermore, it accommodates theoretical calibration through MONTECARLO modeling, crucial for nuclear research and radiation safety applications. This system is suitable for processing drums with capacities of 180 L, 200 L, and 400 L.
