Gate and Portal Radiation Monitors

Gate and Portal radiation monitors are essential systems installed at scrap yards and recycling facilities to detect radioactive materials in vehicles carrying scrap metal.

These monitors use sensitive detectors that scan vehicles as they pass through, identifying harmful radiation sources like industrial waste or contaminated metals. By catching these materials before they enter the recycling process, the monitors help protect workers, the public, and the environment from potential radiation exposure.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a highly sensitive neutron detector module that quickly identifies radiation sources in large scrap metal shipments. The ASM-IV Automatic Scrap Monitoring System can be integrated into existing gate monitors or used as a standalone unit. As trucks pass through, they are automatically scanned for dangerous materials, including shielded sources like Americium, enhancing safety and preventing the accidental melting of radioactive materials.

ADM specialises in calibrating these monitoring systems, ensuring that facilities can maintain accurate and efficient radiation detection, comply with safety regulations, and avoid costly cleanup efforts.
