Ametek Ortec – Whole Body Counting

StandFAST II : Stand-Up Whole-Body Counter 

StandFAST II is a stand up whole body counter system for rapid screening of personnel to identify and quantify fission and activation product radionuclides within the body. It represents a significant innovation in fast screening, whole body counters.

• Hexagonal walk through shield design optimizes placement in either corners or open space and provides efficient throughput of subjects.
• Computer optimized shielding provides maximum interior space to achieve improved detection limits while minimizing system weight.
• Windows based system software, with integral subject database facility, easily interfaces to other computer systems as needed.
• Subject prompting and interleaving allow for maximum throughput during periods of high demand such as reactor outages.
• 150 Bq (4 nCi) ⁶⁰Co LLD with individual in scanner.
• Quality Assurance function guarantees result validity.
• Gain stabilized, computer controlled electronics.
• Segmented construction eases assembly in tight locations.

WBC-200 Sodium Iodide Based Chairs for Routine Evaluation

The whole-body chair is an alternative to the stand-up counter due to its small size, comfortable arrangement, and reproducible geometry. A variety of chairs using NaI detectors are in use throughout the nuclear industry. This ORTEC Model WBC-200 uses a single, large 5″ x 4″ crystal in a collimated shield to provide excellent analysis results. For more specific area coverage, the ORTEC Model WBC-200-2 uses two 5” x 4” NaI detectors. Results may be recorded for the chest region and for the abdominal region in a single count.

The swivel chair makes entry and exit of this system easy for the person being counted. The simple design offers many advantages over complex positioning mechanisms.

WBC-T Thyroid Screening Systems

Simple counter-top system with 2”x2” NaI Detector for the analysis of iodines in the throat.
