Mirion Technologies to Provide Radiation Detection Equipment to Russian Nuclear Power Plants
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mirion Technologies Health Physics Division has received orders through Mirion's distributor RadiCo to provide over 20 body contamination monitors to Russian nuclear power plants in Smolensk and Volgodonsk.
The Mirion equipment includes both HandFoot-Fibre(TM) and TwoStep(TM)-Exit monitors from the Rados(TM) CheckPoint:BodyTM product line. The HandFoot-Fibre hand/foot/clothing radiation contamination monitor is used in situations not requiring a whole body monitor. The gasless TwoStep(TM)-Exit whole body monitor is designed to check for beta and gamma contamination on personnel leaving the controlled areas of nuclear facilities. Both monitors incorporate Mirion's proprietary BetaFibre(TM) scintillation detector technology that does not require the expensive gas connections or on-going maintenance of gas-based detector systems.
"We are honored to continue to supply contamination and clearance equipment to the Russian nuclear power market," said Antony Besso, President of Mirion's Health Physics Division. "We believe our next-generation monitors will help our customers maintain high performance at a reasonable cost."
