The system <strong>digitalises all the recorded data<\/strong>, including an image of each drum and its dimensions, together with a fully traceable record of the drum identification number.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The design and development, completed by the GDES Innovation team, is based on the installation of an <strong>automated rotating platform<\/strong>, where each drum will be placed with the aid of a crane. The base of the platform includes a system of sensors to ensure correct placement of the drums and has an integrated <strong>robotic arm<\/strong> to hold the detector used to perform the <strong>radiological dose-rate measurements<\/strong> required for characterisation. The system also includes a second sensor for <strong>gamma spectrometry measurements<\/strong>, which provides information on the radioactive isotopes present in each waste drum.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6449 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"gd energy services caracterizacion radiologica bidones residuos radioactivos\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones1.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6450 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones15-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"gd energy services caracterizacion radiologica bidones residuos radioactivos 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones15-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones15-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones15.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This system has been designed to be adapted to the sensors that are currently used in the plant and to generate real-time measurements of radiological and dimensional parameters. It is also equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) applied to the data on the radiological measurement points of the drum. The objective of the AI is to correlate the measurements of an initial radiological characterisation with any future characterisation, maintaining the same drum positioning conditions and, therefore, enabling replication of the measurement points for an exact comparison of the radiological values.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6451 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones25-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"gd energy services caracterizacion radiologica bidones residuos radioactivos 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones25-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones25-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gdes.com\/corporate\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/07\/Caracterizacion-de-Bidones25.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Once again, technology developed by GDES brings innovation to operation and maintenance services of the Energy industry, offering clients technological solutions adapted to their needs, with considerable added value.
