Model 400SBDyC - High Performance Tritium in Air Portable Survey Monitor

High Performance Tritium In Air Portable Survey Monitor . The Model 400SBDyC is a high-performance Tritium in air monitor, useful for measurements as low as 2µCi/m3. This model features an OTC electrometer, which measures below 10-16 amperes, and combines low noise and high zero stability. Unlike other instruments, the Model 400SBDyC no longer requires front panel zero control. The thermally induced zero shifts of the electrometer and associated electronics have been eliminated.  Product Overview Tritium is the most difficult radionuclide to detect and measure. It requires a unique detection process different from all others. US Nuclear Corps’ Overhoff Technology Corp is recognized as the premier Tritium detection and measurement company globally. Nuclear power plants, hospitals, laboratories, EPA, the biotech industry, fusion power research and all industries handling radioactive materials in their manufacture are subject to the direction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to d...

ION BEAM ANALYSIS FOR TRITIUM DETECTION

Nuclear reaction measurements on tritiated samples were performed using  3 He beam to develop new possible ion beam method to detect tritium. Development of this ion beam analysis for tritium detection will provide a unique opportunity to  detect fusion fuel (deuterium and tritium)  at the same time. Tungsten sample that was pre-irradiated by 20 MeV W ions was exposed to tritium (T) gas at 450 o C. Such exposure populates the traps induced by W ion irradiation by T homogeneously down to 2 µm and ensures little outgassing as was observed by deuterium gas loading of a W sample prepared on the same way. The activity of the sample was 220 MBq as measured by liquid scintillation technique during W sample chemical erosion. The nuclear reaction product was detected by a thick silicon detector placed at the angle of 135 o  with respect to the incoming beam. Small signal was observed in the spectrum and was increasing with the impact energy. INSIBA experimental station where ...

Starve nuclear weapons to death with a tritium freeze

Proponents of nuclear non-proliferation will be pleased in late 2020 as the 2017 Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) crosses the threshold of 50 ratifications and enters into force. Under this treaty, it will be illegal to hold nuclear weapons, and the parties will have to dismantle any in their possession. The problem with the TPNW approach is that no state that actually possesses nuclear weapons has signed it or is likely to. An alternative to this ‘all-or-nothing’ approach is needed—a freeze on the production of tritium is a different way to manage nuclear disarmament that will gradually bring an end to nuclear weapons. Tritium and its critical role in nuclear weapons  Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen (hydrogen-3). It is used in the nuclear weapon systems of most of the five nuclear weapon states (NWS)—China, France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Russia—today to ‘boost’ the yield of a fission weapon or fission primary. It is important to n...

Radon Monitor

  The Overhoff   Radon Monitor   is intended to measure radon-222 and radon-220 over a wide range of concentrations. The radon monitor is useful to those individuals who need to establish radon background levels or demonstrate compliance with regulations and to those individuals involved in radon mitigation efforts. The   radon monitor   can log 40,000 data points to accurately establish the daily variation in radon concentrations.  The radon monitor’s internal rechargeable battery can operate the monitor for 24 hours. By using the AC/DC adapter the monitoring time can be extended indefinitely which allows for logging the variations in radon concentrations due to the environmental effects of changes in barometric pressure and rainfall. The radon monitor is very useful as a real-time   radon monitor  for those individuals involved in radon mitigation since the real-time indication gives an immediate indication of any mitigation efforts. Mitigation ...
