Technology Name: GammaCam Radiation Imaging System

Demonstration Name:Preliminary Survey | Demonstrated on: 12/1/1996
Demonstration Site: Argonne National Laboratory-East

Demo Objective

Determine the capabilities, limitations, and suitable applications of the GammaCam system Survey large floor or wall areas that may be contaminated due to spills Use of the system to identify the relative location and strength of different radioactive sources located in a large concrete vault through and opening in the shield wall Demonstration of the usefulness of the composite two-dimensional radiation and visual images in determining shielding needs and in positioning subsequent shielding.

Demo Results

The GammaCam is ideal in determining the radiological conditions on wall areas. The ability to place the camera outside the contaminated area greatly reduces the technician time in donning protective clothing or in providing radiation shielding.
