New automated system for the radiological characterisation of radioactive waste drums

GDES sistema de caracterizacion bidones residuos radiologicos

GDES Innovation has delivered and installed the first unit of a new innovative system for the automated radiological characterisation of radioactive waste drums.

The project was developed to improve radiation safety and reduce dose levels, and to optimise and digitalise dosimetric and radiological data on waste. The system digitalises all the recorded data, including an image of each drum and its dimensions, together with a fully traceable record of the drum identification number.
