The scope of work presently carried out by Analogue & Digital Measurements varies from the manufacture of Radiation Source Holders, Transport Containers, Disposal Capsules, Repository Containers, supply of Installation, Commissioning, Transport, Movement, and Decommissioning Labour through to the supply of Industrial and Laboratory Radiation Systems.
Analogue & Digital Measurements carries out the design and manufacture of:
- Industrial Source Holders to the Australia Code of Practice
- Transport Containers
- Storage Containers
- Special Form Disposal Capsules
- Special one off Source Holder designs
- G.M. Switches
- Irradiator Controllers
- Area Alarms
Analogue & Digital Measurements' Industrial Source Holders, exceed the requirements of the Code of Practice and are approved for use in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and India.
Analogue & Digital Measurements is a major participant in the decommissioning of old systems and the safe transportation of Source Holders, downloading of the capsules, and the channeling into reprocessing or disposal of the isotope. To accommodate materials with, out of date Special Form Certificates or leaking sources, we are in the process of having a Special Form Disposal Capsule approved to ISO2919 66646 Performance Standard.
We have access to a variety of B(U) Transport Containers for the movement of large sources. However with the implementation of the 1996 Codes, a large number of devices can no longer be moved due to the cancellation of, or non-renewal of Competent Authority Certification. Analogue & Digital Measurements is currently in the process of solving this problem with a new series of Type B(U) Transport Containers.
Analogue & Digital Measurements is Licenced in all states of Australia to Sell and Service Equipment containing Radioactive Isotopes. Our licensing in most states allows us to handle source sizes to 25,000Ci of 60Co and 10,000 Ci of 137Cs, and covers all isotopes in encapsulation form and alpha foils.
A cross section of the equipment we have designed, installed, commissioned and service include:
- Measuring Density of solutions and slurries
- Measurement of Level in bins and tanks
- Measurement of the Thickness of WEB;s (Plastic Films – Fiberboard)
- Nuclear Conveyor Belt Weighing
- Design & Construction of Radiometric Ore Sorters
- Ore Truck Grade Discriminator
- Waste Belt Monitor
- Soil- Moisture and Density Gauges
- Blood Product Irradiators
- Laboratory Irradiators
- Radiation Therapy Systems
- Area Alarms
We carry out On-Site Wipe Testing and Surveys, the Analysis of the Wipe and the issuing of a Certificate is done immediately.
As we own our Building, we have a stable locality where we provide correctly supervised Isotope storage space to companies that do not have an appropriate environment.
We are in the process of building a Survey Meter Calibration System, which should be on line late 2005.
We have carried out factory training at:
- The Ohmart Corporation of Cincinnatti numerous times between 1986 and 1996
- J.L. Shepherd & Associates 1993 and 1995
- Foss Therapy Systems 2001 and 2002
Large devices for which we have experience include:
- Shepherd 109 Blood Product Irradiator
- Shepherd 143 Blood Product Irradiator
- Gammacell 1000 Blood Product Irradiator
- Gammacell 220 Laboratory Irradiator
- Barazalte Cesio Therapy Head
- CIS Bio International 437C Blood Product Irradiator
- CIS Bio International Alcyon II Therapy Head
- Theratronics 780 Therapy Head
We represent the following companies for the supply of Sources
