NuEM SAFEWATER for water contamination monitoring

NuEM SAFEWATER is an autonomous water contamination monitoring system intended for quick and accurate indication of beta and gamma contamination in drinking water. The system is built into a robust stainless-steel cabinet and consists of two independently operating beta and gamma radiation detectors, connecting tubes, a water leak detector, and a stainless-steel vessel with a Marinelli container. Electronic equipment, wiring, signaling lights and a computer with a touchscreen LCD display are integrated into a separate cabinet at the top of the panel. The computer displays measured real-time data and current detector status. The water is led into the system via a pipeline system through an input valve located at the bottom of the Marinelli vessel and is continuously measured by both probes. This arrangement allows fixed measurements of radiation in Marinelli's geometry. Data from the station is automatically transferred to the monitoring center via Ethernet or GPRS. The monitoring center is equipped with NuSOFT RAMON SW for central evaluation and display of any radioactive contamination using data from the local water monitoring network. The system is designed for monitoring and early warning of the presence of radioactive substances in drinking water or in other places where water monitoring is required. (orig.)
