Saferad
As part of Torch Integrated Inspection Services drive towards technological
innovation and safe working practices, Torch Integrated Inspection
Services has added Saferad to its extensive range of X and Gamma
equipment. This innovative new radiographic system allows barriers
to be set at 2 metres or less thus creating a SAFER working environment
for radiographers, working colleagues and personnel within the immediate
vicinity.
This system allows delivery of a continuous radiography service,
which in turn will lead to non stop working and the elimination
of widespread disruption to on-going operations in the immediate
work zone. With the shortening of both new construction and maintenance
programmes by eliminating the need to evacuate personnel, benefits
accruing from the system include massive cost savings in non-productive
time, reduction in the “management” of windows and subsequently
the earlier start-up of vital plant is attainable.
The system achieves this by the use of the “softer” radiation emitted
by Selenium – 75, a recently available isotope with a 118.5 day
half-life, the containment of unwanted radiation within the operating
container, the shaping and focussing of the radiation beam and finally
enveloping or enclosing the equipment in a new absorbing material-GammaBlok,
thus ensuring that the “controlled area” is very close to (less
than 2 metres) the source.
