Overview of Features • Patented BetaFibre™ scintillation detector proven in RADOS body contamination monitors;
improved light collection properties for fibre scintillation detectors
• high rate of contamination measurement
• 970 cm 2 sensitive detection area - one of the largest detection area for handheld con-
tamination monitors available today
• various modes of operation, including continuous mode for sweeping large surfaces
• designed for performance in nuclear environments
painted mild steel housing, easily decontaminated, easy maintenance
• very low sensitivity to background change
Customer Benefits Fast and easy deployment - reliable operation
• push-button operation - no special training required
• gasfree and battery mode allows complete standalone operation
• deploy and ready to go - operational immediately after background check
• automatic background check adapts to various locations
• efficient background correction methods routinely proven in nuclear power applications
• detects common alpha and beta emitting radionuclides with low detection limits
• complies to IEC60325
Low cost of operation and maintenance
• no gas required for operation and no delay after maintenance due to gas flushing
(plug & play maintainability)
• simple detector design allows in-the-field repair by customer’s technician - resulting in
lower maintenance costs
Ability to network
• TCP/IP ability
• parameter modification and access to measurement results via network possible
references RADOS handheld contamination monitors have been proven over many generations of
RADOS contamination monitors.
The QuickSweep™ monitor of the CheckPoint:Area™ family is the ideal monitor to back up
health physics operations in controlled areas of nuclear facilities
• with potential alpha/beta contamination (no discrimination; beta-gamma as option)
• with high or changing gamma background
• with high throughput requirements
The QuickSweep™ is also very well suited for mobile contamination monitoring in support of
decommissioning tasks.
