WDMS NT-VK

Monitoring and disposal of radioactive wastewater

System that collects and monitors radioactive wastewater, mainly from diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with radioactive substances, and releases it only after its activity has dropped below a defined value. The water is stored in decay tanks and measured in Marinelli geometry with a NaI(Tl) detector in a lead well; a local PLC is commanded from software on a remote PC.

UseCollection and monitoring of radioactive wastewater, mainly from diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with radioactive substances; release only once the activity is below a defined value1
Detector typeNaI(Tl) 2 × 2 in with MCA2
Sample geometry1-litre Marinelli beaker with connections to the system2
Lead shielding5 cm lead well2
Main componentsImhoff purification tanks, sorting pumps, decay tanks, sampling system, release pumps, and level and pump sensors with a safety flooding well1
ControlLocal PLC commanded by software on a remote PC: automatic cycles, measurement parameters, alarm and release archives and system status1
RedundancyCritical elements are redundant: a second Imhoff tank takes over when the first is clogged or serviced, and the sorting pumps work alternately2
CustomisationNumber and type of decay tanks defined by the installation2

The data comes from the manufacturer’s published documents. Manufacturers may change specifications; the current configuration and performance are confirmed in the quotation.
