The DrumScan technique uses unique matrix correction fingerprinting algorithms to provide enhanced detection and classification of wastes down to unrestricted release levels, leading to the selection of the most appropriate and cost effective waste disposal options.

The system is also uniquely modular offering a wide range of options that can be matched to your individual assay requirements. These include segmented plots of matrix density and radioactivity, low or high-resolution detectors and the choice of a single scanning detector or a multiple detectors for higher throughputs.

Key applications include the assay of solid wastes arising from the operational activities and decommissioning programmes of nuclear power stations and reprocessing plants where waste stream fingerprints are well characterised and the assay of uranium wastes derived from fuel fabrication and processing.

Developed and improved using the feedback gained from extensive operating experience, the latest version of this successful non-destructive, low-resolution gamma spectrometry system offers improved flexibility and ease of use combined with enhanced measurement performance.
