Radiation Monitor System

Radiation Monitor System

Radiation Monitor System is a device used to detect and monitor radiation levels and is widely used in various safety inspections and environmental monitoring scenarios. Depending on how they are used, Radiation Monitor Systems are categorized into two types, Tunnel Type Radiation Detection System and Handheld Detection System.

Working Principle

Radiation Monitor System receives the rays released by the radiation source (e.g. gamma rays, X-rays, etc.) through the detector. When the detector captures the rays, it will convert the radiation-induced physical effects (e.g. ionization, flash, or charge movement) into a weak electrical signal. This signal is proportional to the intensity and type of radiation and reflects the dose or energy of the radiation. Different types of rays (α, β, γ rays) produce signals with different characteristics, which are recognized and classified by the instrument and analyzed by internal algorithms to accurately display the radiation dose level. Most of the devices also have an alarm function, which will automatically sound an alarm when abnormal radiation levels are detected, ensuring a quick response.

Main types

Passageway Radiation Monitor System: Usually installed in passageways or entrances, passageway monitors are suitable for automated radiation monitoring of people, baggage, vehicles, etc. They are equipped with multiple high sensitivity detectors. Equipped with multiple high sensitivity detectors, the device can realize uninterrupted real-time monitoring when large traffic passes through, commonly used in airports, customs, border crossings, nuclear power plants and other places.

Portable Radiation Detection System: Portable Radiation Detection System is small in size and light in weight, easy to carry and suitable for mobile detection tasks. Users can manually detect specific objects or areas, the equipment will sound and light alarms when the radiation source is detected. Portable Radiation Detection System is mostly used in environmental monitoring, industrial testing, medical facilities and other scenes, but also can be used for rapid emergency response to sudden radiation accidents.

Application Scenarios

Airport and border inspection: used for radiation detection of incoming and outgoing personnel and goods to ensure that there is no radioactive threat.

Nuclear power plants and related industries: monitoring radiation levels inside and around nuclear facilities to ensure the safety of staff and the environment.

Medical institutions: To help nuclear medicine and radiology departments manage radiation doses and ensure operational safety.

Environmental Protection: For radiation monitoring in the natural environment, especially in areas where nuclear power plants or radioactive materials are used.

Emergency response: for rapid detection and control of radiation contamination during emergencies such as nuclear accidents and terrorist attacks
