SYSCADE BENEFITS

Mobile, flexible and on-site transportable

Non-destructive, no need to open the drums

Combining X-ray imagery and radioactive isotopes characterization

Available worldwide
Benefits of the X-Ray inspection system :
- High definition X-Ray imaging : 2D multi-angular, stereoscopic or tomographic
- Easy recognition of drum content – detection of the presence of liquid or heavy object like a source container
- No need for a transmission source (no licencing, cost & safety issues)
- Very short inspection time (< 1 min.) compared to the use of a transmission source
- Fast X-Ray inspection offers more time for emission measurement
- Determination of matrix heterogeneities for better handling of “type-B” errors during gamma characterization
- Accurate fill height information
Benefits of SYSCADE OG (Open Geometry) and A-OG modes :
- Can be performed with rotating drum or at various angular positions (A-OG mode)
- Measurement performed in a cabin with lead shied (reduced background – lower MDA)
- Allows to estimate the total activity content in each drum (similar to IN-SITU)
- Allows estimating if angular activity distribution is uniform (A-OG mode)
Benefits of SYSCADE SGS (Segmented Gamma Scanning) mode :
- Allows matrix correction layer-by-layer (reduction of type-B errors)
- Measurement performed in a shielded cabin (reduced background radiation)
- Combination with X-Ray results gives a better estimation of averaged density in each segment compared to TGS (typically in middle part of each segment)
Benefits of A-SGS (Angular-SGS) mode :
- Reveals (extreme) radial source distribution over 360° for each segment
- Selectable rotation angle from 15 to 90°
- Allows avoiding activity overestimation
- Measurement performed in a shielded cabin (reduced background radiation)
- Shorter characterization times compared to tomography
Other Benefits of SYSCADE :
- Compact : 2 complementary systems in a unique 40-feet container
- Mobile and on-site transportable
- Self-shielded (drums are inspected and characterized in lead shielded cabin)
- 100% industrial grade
- Fully automatic – Requires 1 operator only !
- Inspection and characterization modes can be configured according to your needs
- 2 other container models available: 20-feet container for mobile X-Ray or mobile gamma only
- Can be rented
