The Conveyor Belt Radiation detection system provides an extremely high degree of protection for the reliable detection of low-level radioactive material. There are a number of reasons why a conveyor belt radiation detection system is an excellent safe guard for the detection of radioactive material, the face of the detector is in close proximity to the material being monitored, the material density below the detector is relatively low, the measured background radiation levels are low and stable, and there is sufficient time to scan even the smallest piece of radioactive material as it passes by the face of the detector.

Typically, the conveyor belt system includes one or two large detection panels situated overtop or along the sides, in close proximity to the material on the conveyor belt. The detector volume, shape and size will vary depending on the type of conveyor belt application. The detector will be mounted on a steel frame in a protective shroud suspended overhead or on the sidewalls of the conveyor.

The detector panel will be connected to a control console located in an area where personnel will be present should an alarm occur. The incoming signals from the detector will be processed automatically on a continuous basis. The console incorporates a high-speed microprocessor that performs the detector signal analyses setting alarm thresholds wile closely tracking the measured ambient background radiation levels. In the event of an alarm condition the controller will set audio/visual alarms together with all the critical information about the alarm. All the alarm information will be stored as a graphic image that can be retrieved and displayed or printed as required. The controller also provides a controlled output relay that can be used to stop the conveyor when an alarm occurs. The relay will be reset when the alarm condition on the controller has been reset.
