New design simplifies radiation monitoring

July 2016 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

The Omniflex Radiological Protection Gateway (RPN1) is a revolutionary new product, based on well-proven technology that simplifies the process of gathering data from Lab Impex and Canberra Radiation Monitors.

By combining all of the required features in a standard COTS (Commercially Off-The-Shelf) product, the Teleterm RPN1 provides trouble free installation and set-up. Within a matter of minutes, the data from radiation monitors can be readable on a radiological surveillance scada system.

The Teleterm RPN1 gateways simply connect together on an intelligently designed redundant fibre+power ring network, using ‘Link In’ and ‘Link Out’ connectors on the top of the units (cables are supplied in standard lengths), providing quick and easy installation with minimum disturbance to other RPN1 gateways on the network. A single RPN1 can be connected to multiple radiation monitors via RS-485 and is also capable of providing power to the local monitor, completely simplifying the process of radiation monitoring.

Keeping an eye on invisible radiation
Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.
