Description

Video cameras with greater radiation hardening are needed for the operation and remote handling of equipment in nuclear reactor inspection and refueling applications. Vega Wave Systems has developed a radiation-hardened vision system for nuclear energy applications. The program described in this report provided radiation-hardness testing of this vision system using the Argonne Low-Energy Accelerator Facility (LEAF). This report presents the results of irradiation tests performed on several of Vega Wave System's cameras at dose rates ranging from 1 kGy/hr up to 10 kGy/hr and up to total doses of >500 kGy. The results were excellent, providing proof of the camera system's immunity to radiation effects at all levels tested.
