GAMMA - SAFE SYSTEM

THE PROCESS AUTOMATION I-TAG SYSTEM

The I-Tag system provides a safer and more reliable system of reading Radio Nuclide and Source Holder information in situ.

The telescoping I-Tag Probe allows simplified (electronic) reading of the Source Tag, especially in those hard to reach installations.

Corrosion and environmental effects are eliminated due to construction materials used in the I-Tag.

The I-Tag system is much safer as it does not require the human eye to read the data from the mandated metal tag which is attached directly to the source holder..

The I-Tag cannot be separated form the source holder, thus preventing mis-labeling and confusion. The I-Tag is read using a non-contacting technology and does not require touching the source holder, thereby preventing possibility of exposure to radiation contamination. The I-Tag is read error free.

THE PROBLEM - LEAK TESTING

It is a legal requirement that sealed radioactive isotopes be tested for leakage on a periodic basis.

The traditional method of providing a leak test service has :

• The problem of the identification of the source holder which may be corroded and dirty
• The source tag data must be manually transcribed, in the plant, under conditions which are usually far form ideal. This written information is often corrupted by the plant conditions (process spillage, splashing water etc.) and makes later reading unreliable.
• The written records need to be placed either within the sample bag or affixed to it in a satisfactory manner.
• The collation of leak test reports and filing of the results can only be performed long after the swabs were taken. This delay often results in further administration difficulties.

THE SOLUTION -- PROCESS AUTOMATION GAMMA-SAFE SYSTEM

• The Gamma-Safe system provides a means to safely collect and analyze the sample swabs required for the mandatory periodic leak testing of sealed radioactive sources.
• The Gamma-Safe system allows the swab taker to read, regardless of the condition of the standard metal tag, from a safe distance, all the information stored in the Source- mounted I-Tag.
• This information is then transferred electronically to the sample bag. Swabs are taken form the source holder and placed into the zip-sealed bag and sealed.
• A coarse contamination measurement is made in situ on the zip-sealed bag containing the swabs using the portable UNIRAD 350 Radiation monitor.
• Should any measurable leakage be detected , it will allow early warning and appropriate action to be taken before the samples are handled further.
