Applications

Radioactive contamination, source detection

Ash from biomass power plants analyzed with Lab Scout

The ash left behind when biomass is burned can have high Cs-137 values!

Detection of sources during illegal transportation and disposal

Smuggling of radioactive materials for terrorist purposes represents a today-scenario to be taken very seriously. Therefore, potential routes of transportation (airports, borders) and the access to critical infrastructure will be checked.

Analysis of material, soil or food samples

Soil, material or food samples will be evaluated concerning their radioactive contamination by means of the emitted gamma spectre. By using High Purity Germanium (HPGe) the analysis will deliver the exact nuclide vector but requires expensive measuring equipment and can be performed only by educated specialists, usually in the labs.

Detection, demarcation and assessment of surface contaminations

In the past, excavated material from mining plants was used for backfill works in public areas and likewise for foundations of roads. In this way, today's legal limit values have been exceeded and remediation works will be required.
