ALPHA-7A Alpha Air Monitors

Thermos Scientific™ ALPHA-7A Air Monitor is designed to provide early warning to workers exposed to airborne releases of alpha-emitting radionuclides.

Modern, PC-based continuous air monitor provides faster, more powerful algorithms for the identification and quantification of airborne releases of alpha-emitting radionuclides, primarily transuranic such as 238Pu and 239Pu.

Product overview:

Simultaneously monitors up to 8 isotopes
Advanced peakshape algorithms; calculates isotopic activity by mapping peaks rather than using regions of interest (ROI)
Alpha-spectral data updated every second
Concentration, dose, and activity alarms
Pentium-class PC-based, Windows 2000 operating system
Removable filter holder cartridge
High-speed connections via 10-base T Ethernet connection
4 to 20mA analog input and output capacity
High-visibility display for status and messages
New isotopes easily added from library using any ODBC database manager
Automatic gain control based on naturally occurring peaks
Tracks alpha-emitting daughter products
Full-featured, Windows-based client software presents graphical displays of spectrum and status to any networked or local PC

Two detector designs:

Radial entry head for ambient air monitoring
Inline head for process or stack monitoring applications
Either head may be used remotely from the central display and control un

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...

Passive Tritium/C-14 Air Samplers

Features: Ultra-reliable tritium air sampler Includes mass flow air control for consistent, precise sampling Collects both HT and HTO with cascaded vials to ensure virtually 100% collection efficiency Thermal oxidizer with a temperature indicator to convert HT to HTO, regulated range 455 – 475 °C Standard flow rate sensitivity for 3 H: 10 -9 µCi/ml (10 -9 Ci/m 3 ) for 7-day period at 100 ml/min High flow rate sensitivity for 3 H: 10 -9 µCi/ml (10 -9 Ci/m 3 ) for 24-hour period at 1 L/min Description: The Model TASC-HT-HTO is a high-quality and reliable passive tritium in air sampler. Airborne tritium in the sample stream is continuously collected in vials filled with a liquid collection medium (water or glyocol). The amount trapped increases linearly with elapsed time. At regular intervals, the sampling is stopped, the contents removed and assayed using liquid scintillation counting to determine the amount of radioactivity co...
