Evolution of the Smart Probe

STS have been working on the next evolution of our ionising radiation contamination simulators! Our customers love the basis of our simulation technology which allows artificial contamination to be applied to a surface, spread, transferred and cleaned up -all whilst being monitored with a simulated meter and probe behaving as you would expect surface radioactive contamination to behave. Our ...

The estimation of radiation doses in human organs due to natural and artificial radioactivity in surface waters of the Ebro river basin (Northeast Spain)

This paper reports the estimation of the radiation doses in the human body in the Ebro river basin (Northeast Spain), following drinking water ingestion by measuring 40K, 226Ra, 90Sr and 3H. The ...

Feds to clean site of 1976 `Atomic Man` accident

Workers are preparing to enter one of the most dangerous rooms on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation - the site of a 1976 blast that exposed a technician to a massive dose of radiation, leading to him being nicknamed the "Atomic Man." Harold McCluskey ...

Simulated Radiation Contamination Probe

The STS 6150ADK probe is a large area probe, 150mm wide, and 200mm long. It differs from other STS probes, in that it is self contained detection and interface unit, and can therefore be connected direct to real ratemeters. It contains a six cell MN1500 battery pack which this gives about 10 hours of operation. The probe is designed to replicate the particular properties of radioactive surface ...
