Radiation detection technology plays a crucial role in helping to identify and contain long term radiological hazards in various fields, including healthcare, nuclear power, and environmental monitoring. EnviSmarts is a modular system designed to provide comprehensive long term radiation detection and monitoring solutions at optimal cost. Combining a stand-alone unit with solar panel power supply, providing cost effective and efficient solution for long term area monitoring. Our system measures gamma radiation, providing both dose rate and accumulated dose at fixed time intervals. The interval between transmissions is user selectable, with an option to transmit at shorter time intervals higher frequencies if radiation levels exceed user selectable thresholds. Making it ideal for long term environmental detection of, and support in containing, radiological hazards Please feel free to contact the Rotem Industries Ltd- Radiological Containment team for more information and a demonstration of our state of the art EnviSmarts detection technology (sales@rotemi.co.il.) #nuclearsafety #nucleardecommissioning #workersafety #healthandsafety #radiologicalprotection #survey #radiologicalmonitoring #detection #monitoring #decisionmaking #doselimits #RotemIndustries #medical

What Is an X Ray Dosimeter? ☢️ An X ray dosimeter is a device used to measure and monitor the amount of radiation exposure someone may receive, typically in an occupational setting. 📊 Dosimetry providers ship badges to individuals to monitor radiation doses over a set period of time, providing exposure reports to keep professionals safe and compliant with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and state regulations.

What if radiation safety teams helped design advanced reactors, instead of just monitoring them? The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ‘s proposed 10 CFR Part 53 suggests exactly this kind of shift. Current regulations provide detailed, prescriptive requirements. Under Part 53, facilities will instead need to demonstrate how their unique designs and protocols achieve specific safety goals. This performance-based approach means safety considerations must be woven into reactor development from day one. Unlike under Parts 50 and 52, where safety features often follow standardized design decisions, Part 53 demands safety integration from initial concept through construction and operation. Whether for small modular reactors or larger, non-LWR designs, teams will need to validate their strategies with solid evidence. The monitoring and documentation requirements under this framework could look quite different from what we see in existing facilities. Advanced radiation detection systems and real-time dose monitoring tools might become essential technologies that radiation protection teams will need to master. For radiation safety professionals, particularly RSOs and their teams, this shift could mean earlier involvement in design and planning stages. Instead of implementing predetermined procedures, they'll help shape custom safety protocols tailored to each facility's unique characteristics. Those interested in working with these new designs might want to start building skills in risk assessment software, performance metrics, and advanced monitoring technologies now, while the regulations are still being developed. #NuclearEnergy #AdvancedReactors #NuclearSafety #NuclearPower #RadiationProtection #SmallModularReactors #CleanEnergy #EnergyInnovation

The #BIPM is advancing dosimetry services for National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) by expanding its use of off-site facilities for calibration and comparison services. Responding to the needs of the metrology community, as of September 2024, the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) is once again offering a calibration service (in addition to a comparison service) of secondary standards for the *radiation protection level at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)¹³⁷Cs irradiation facility in Austria. 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬? This service is being offered to NMIs and Designated Institutes (DIs) from Member States that maintain secondary standards. However, as this also includes the IAEA, its network of Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDL) will also benefit.

Very informative! Fundamental Safety Principles, IAEA Safety Standards Series, No. SF-1 This publication states the fundamental safety objective and ten associated safety principles, and briefly describes their intent and purpose. The fundamental safety objective — to protect people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation — applies to all circumstances that give rise to radiation risks. The safety principles are applicable, as relevant, throughout the entire lifetime of all facilities and activities, existing and new, utilized for peaceful purposes, and to protective actions to reduce existing radiation risks. They provide the basis for requirements and measures for the protection of people and the environment against radiation risks and for the safety of facilities and activities that give rise to those risks. These include, in particular, nuclear installations and uses of radiation and radioactive sources, the transport of radioactive material and the management of radioactive waste. #Safety #Principles #IAEA

Nuclear Technologies are around us. Have you ever heard about ionizing smoke detectors? Most probably one is installed in your office or apartment. Take a look at the picture below. If smoke comes into an ionizing chamber the usual order of things changes. Americium-241 serves as a radionuclide in this type of smoke detector, with the radioactive substance positioned between two plates carrying electric charges. By ionizing the air molecules between the metal plates, Americium-241 generates a minor electric current travelling from one plate to the other through the surrounding air. Typically, the current remains steady within the detection chamber. However, when smoke infiltrates the chamber, it interferes with the ion flow, diminishing the current and triggering the alarm. #nucleartechnologies
