The Cronos-4 and Cronos-11 Gamma Object/Tool Monitors are highly sensitive instruments designed to detect gamma radiation on various articles, including waste bags, tools, briefcases, hard hats, and other miscellaneous objects. By ensuring that these items have no detectable radioactivity, these monitors can lead to significant cost savings in waste processing and storage.
Mirion has combined the best features of their contamination monitors with new technology and insights from health physicists and radiation protection professionals globally to create a monitor that significantly outperforms previous models in its class.
Both the Cronos-4 and Cronos-11 utilize a sophisticated “fast following” background trending and release-limit algorithm, enhancing their performance in both stable and fluctuating radiation fields. The monitors have a very low detection threshold, optimized through the careful selection of detector quantity and sensitivity, the thickness of lead shielding, and the measuring time, ensuring compliance with stringent user requirements.
With the Mirion WebRemote software, users benefit from an intuitive touch screen graphical user interface designed for industrial PC-based operations. This enhances health physics programs, facilitates better tracking of contamination, and improves personnel throughput at boundary points.
Additionally, the Cronos monitors are built to be rugged and reliable, ensuring ease of use in various environments. Their design emphasizes functionality and user-friendliness, making them essential tools for effective radiation monitoring.
