Irradiation & Testing

Irradiation & Testing work researched under a GAIN NE Voucher

Radiation Testing for Nuclear Inspection Systems, Vega Wave Systems

The objective of this project was to test the Enduray Vision System developed by Vega Wave Systems Inc., using 3 MeV X-rays generated by the Van de Graaff system, to assess the radiation tolerance of the system. These tests showed that the Enduray Vision System was 10× more radiation-hard than the best available commercial competitor in terms of dose rate and can easily sustain radiation dose rates and total doses seen in the most extreme commercial applications in the nuclear energy industry.
