Thru-wall endoscope, Rees – Mirion Technologies Thru-Wall Endoscope User Manual
Page 2
The through-wall/roof camera allows pan/tilt viewing into a nuclear cell.
Control of pan/tilt/zoom, auto iris and focus functions can be either via a
system network or PC. A prism within a non-browning glass dome tilts and
rotates to provide viewing within a hemisphere.
The image is relayed through a special endoscope that incorporates
shielding to avoid the shine path that would otherwise result from a
straight optical path. The camera module, zoom lens, prism/lens motor
drives and video/control interface can be accessed from outside of the
cell. The prism drive mechanism has been designed to be maintenance
free and has been successfully life tested (simulation of 30-year use in a
plant). The dome sealant has passed irradiation, leakage and pressure
tests.
The through-wall/roof camera is installed within a liner system into an
encast liner. The dome, mounted on the outer liner, provides a seal against
contamination and remains in place should the through-wall camera need
to be withdrawn.
The through-wall/roof camera can be installed into a 6.0" diameter encast
liner or into a 10.5” encast liner with a filler liner (Figure 1).
The endoscope is modular in construction so that it can be configured to
suit the wall/roof thickness and shielding characteristics. There are wide-
angle zoom and narrow-angle zoom options.
For High Level Waste facilities, the typical wall thickness is 48". In this
case, the camera provides equivalent shielding to the wall. When
configured for a thickness of 30" or less, the effective shielding may be
lower than that provided by the wall and remains compatible with less
severe radiation levels.
