AT-900 Series Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM)

Overview

The AT-900 Series Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) is a complete vehicle monitoring system used for the rapid detection of unknown hidden radioactive sources in moving vehicles. A full color console guides a gatehouse operator to each radiation alarm, linking the alarm to a passing vehicle. The AT-900 Series is a sophisticated design enabling operators to initiate the proper response once the system has alarmed.

The system is suitable for:

• Trucks
• Trains
• Chargebuckets
• Containers
• Conveyors

Applications

Government and private businesses, around the world count on AT-900S systems to detect the presence of radioactive emissions.

• Customs security - border crossings, ports
  • Truck
  • Rail
  • Container
• Rail yards
• Industrial
• Scrap metal industry

Features

The AT-900 Series Radiation Portal Monitor is a user-friendly, console-driven, automatic system, designed for "one button" operation. The AT-900S is a modular design consisting of a variable number of independent detectors that enables system configuration adaptations for specific applications and installation requirements.

The AT-900 Series has multiple user-settable energy-dependent alarm thresholds that minimize unnecessary alarms from normal cargo materials.

Key features include:

• Graphic real-time display shows vehicle transit on screen
• Graphic real-time alarm shows position of radioactive material in passing vehicle
• Global analysis: Alarm algorithms will take into consideration data from measurements before truck arrives and after truck left gate.
• User definable alarm response text on screen - three different alarm responses depending on level of radiation detected
• Data storage - full raw data from all alarms stored in memory
• Vehicle log printout (all vehicles)
• Integrated data logging
• Multi-language capability
• Automatic built-in calibration for ISO standard routines
• Network ready, modem supported
• Reliable, automatic, 24 hr/7 day operation

Benefits

Using the AT-900 Series Radiation Portal Monitor System at a border crossing can help provide radiation detection of hidden sources and nuclear materials that could potentially become a threat to national security. Use in an industrial application can help a producer, or consumer, of scrap metal catch costly hidden radioactive sources before they enter or exit their facility.
