At the Rostov NPP began to use a device that allows you to "see" radiation

In December 2021, it became known about the creation in Russia of a device that allows you to "see" radiation and find a source of gamma radiation. We are talking about the Delta-T apparatus, developed by the Moscow NPP "Dose."

The novelty is a gamma camera, which, scanning the surrounding space, outputs an image of radiation to the monitor, and then experts determine its composition by nature and color spectrum.

The equipment can ensure the safety of existing and decommissioned nuclear power plants, experimental and research reactors, spent nuclear fuel storage facilities and waste. Its advantage over conventional dosimeters, according to the developers, is that it "sees" radiation, being far from the sources of ionizing radiation, which means that there is no need to approach them, endangering specialists.

Delta-T was created by the company NPP Dozov together with the French company Damavan Imaging. By December 2021, the device is already used by the Rostov NPP, where it has already passed all tests.

According to the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of Moscow, Alexander Prokhorov, the new development will ensure the safe operation of the Rostov NPP and in the future may become widespread. "

Prokhorov also noted that by December 2021, automated radiation control systems of metropolitan production are operating at nine Russian and seven foreign nuclear power plants. The company also equipped them with more than 30 research centers in Russia and other countries, including the Institute of Energy Technologies in Spain, the Center for Nuclear Research and Technology in Bolivia. In 2021, these equipment were delivered for the Belarusian nuclear power plant and for the CFR-600 reactor, one of China's largest national projects in the field of nuclear science and technology.^[1]
