• Monitor configuration to customer requirements • Division of the measured waste drum into volume segments • Analysis of spectrometric data from each volume segment • Peak attenuation correction • Integrated waste drum weighing • Measurement of the density of the material in the waste drum • Optional Fast-Scan function • Detector with optional adjustable collimator • Integrated control software The WAM-300 monitor is intended for the quantitative and qualitative characterization of radioactive wastes, with overall activity from 3 kBq to 1 TBq deposited in waste drums (for Cs-137). They operate on the principle of a segmented gamma scanner (SGS), which evaluates the distribution of radionuclide activity and material density in drums in up to 9 vertical segments. Due to the variable customers' requirements for measuring different types and sizes of waste drums, various waste activities, different requirements for handling the drums, etc., the WAM series monitors can be customized. All WAM-300 series monitors include: • Gamma spectrometric detector, with two basic monitor configurations depending on the used detector: • WAM-300 monitor featuring an HPGe detector with 30% efficiency, cooled by liquid nitrogen, • WAM-310 monitor featuring a CeBr3 scintillation detector. • Rotating platform for measured waste drums with integrated weighing scale • Vertical lifting mechanism, which ensures measurement of the waste drum over its entire height • A data processing system, which provides comprehensive waste drum analysis • radionuclide source, installed opposite the HPGe detector, to measure material density in a waste drum • Irradiator with a sealed radionuclide source to correct for nonhomogeneous material distribution in the waste drum. Eu-152 is used as standard, in case of need other nuclides can be used, e.g. Se-75 It is also possible add to the WAM-300 the following • HPGe detector with different efficiency corresponding to the activity of the waste in the waste drum. • Alternative detector cooling: electric or hybrid (combination of liquid nitrogen and electric cooling) • One to four collimated dose rate detectors for FastScan function • Collimator with adjustable aperture, for measuring a wide range of activities in waste drums, with automatic setting of the aperture using the Fast-Scan function • Add-on for collimator designed to measure very high activity levels • Manual or automatic waste drum handling system • Swab wipe system for the measurement of waste drum's surface contamination • Barcode, QR or RFID reader for waste drum identification • Area gamma detectors • Calibration fixtures, check sources 1 Optional equipment must b

When the waste drum is loaded onto the rotating platform, it is weighed. The operator is then asked to enter the measurement input information and then the measurement can be started. When integrated, the Fast-Scan function performs a quick measurement using dose rate detectors to determine the maximum dose rate at the waste drum surface. Accordingly, the aperture of the collimator is automatically adjusted to achieve the optimal detection efficiency. Next, a waste drum density measurement with the radionuclide source is performed to determine the average density of the material in the drum....
