The purpose of the Crane-Mounted Radiation Detection System is to detect the presence of radioactive sources while material is being handled by grapples or magnets.
In the metal recycling industries, intentionally or accidentally discarded industrial and medical sources can seriously contaminate a shredder, baler, steel melt or bag house. While these types of sources may be quite strong, the radiation is highly attenuated by the lead and steel housings in which they are encased. Crane-Mounted Radiation Detection Systems are designed to monitor the scrap metal while it is still in the scrap pile under the grapple or magnet, or on the grapple itself, and to prevent shielded radioactive sources from making their way into the steel making process.
The Crane-Mounted Radiation Detection Systems operate in a dynamic scanning mode, actively monitoring radiation levels from the material being scanned and comparing it to the natural background radiation signature at any given time during the material loading and handling process. The detector assembly is mounted on the crane boom or can be mounted directly on a grapple to minimize the distance from the detector to the material being monitored.
Fluctuating background radiation levels are a significant factor in detecting a radioactive source because the levels of radiation emanating from a source may be substantially less than the fluctuations in normal environmental background radiation levels. Auto-adjusting alarm levels, based on exclusive Reality-Based Detection techniques, provide the ultimate in performance... maximum sensitivity and virtually no false alarms!
