Shielding Testing for Healthcare Facilities

The JME portable X-Ray Betatron 7.5MeV is designed to produce high energy ionising radiation for industrial radiographic non-destructive testing.  It can penetrate 30 centimeters of steel or 1 metre of concrete.  Case study provided by JME Advanced Inspection Systems.

 

In the UK, facilities in which ionising radiation is used, are subject to The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17). Under these regulations, employers are required to consult a Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) regarding the plans for any new or modified facilities and specifically the control measures which are implemented to ensure exposure to ionising radiation is kept as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). Aurora has experience of providing this advice for all uses of ionising radiation in the healthcare sector, including proton beam therapy, traditional external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy, nuclear medicine, radiopharmacies, medical isotope production facilities and diagnostic radiology equipment. Aurora uses the JME Portable X-Ray Betatron (PXB) System for Shielding Integrity Testing (SIT) within radiotherapy bunkers. SIT provides confidence to both the construction partner and the healthcare provider that the facility has been constructed in accordance with the design before it is handed over. SIT uses a mobile radioactive source, which allows more comprehensive testing than is possible with a fixed clinical source. The test source is chosen to match the shielding provided, which allows testing to take place even when adjacent spaces are occupied. Continue reading Shielding Testing for Healthcare Facilities

Inspection of Fire Proofed Structural Steel

The JME portable X-Ray Betatron 7.5MeV is designed to produce high energy ionising radiation for industrial radiographic non-destructive testing.  It can penetrate 30 centimeters of steel or 1 metre of concrete.  Case study provided by JME Advanced Inspection Systems.

 

INITIAL CONCERN

The catalyst for this study was the concern that main structural I-beams at a Petrochemical facility could be suffering from degradation due to the fracturing of a fire-resistant concrete that was applied during installation. The initial goal is to locate possible damage caused by oxidation due to water ingress through the fractures that could affect the integrity of the structure as well as determine the extent of the damage revealed without the removal of the fire protectant.
