< Back REACh™ Detector System Jul 11, 2021 Successful Completion of the Field Testing The REACh™ Detector System measures gamma dose rates and gamma emitting activity by radionuclide, delivering quick and accurate characterization results. The results of the field testing for our REACh™ Detector System are in, and we could not be more pleased with them. The testing consisted of performing gamma scans for twenty-nine real packages of radioactive waste varying in size from 55-gallon drums to 20-foot intermodal containers. Waste forms included ion exchange resins, routine dry active waste (DAW), contaminated and activated metals, and fly ash. The results of the field testing were in good agreement with those found with a High Purity Germanium Detector and the total gamma emitters found were within 10%. The final characterization results from the REACh™ System including hard to detect isotopes from the RADMAN™ Interface, were over 20% lower than the results provided by the waste generators on the average. The REACh™ Detector has the capability to detect gamma emitters very quickly with a dynamic count time that is completed in a matter of seconds. Dynamic count times for the packages analyzed ranged from 1 to 19 seconds with all but 2 packages analyzed in less than 10 seconds. One of the final tests completed was a “walk-around” scan of an intermodal container with 6 individual readings taken. The walk around scan was completed in roughly 1 minute and the results were within 4% of those obtained using fixed detector locations and count times totaling more than 20 minutes. With the power of REACh™, the need to have subject matter experts on-site for low-level characterization and classification work is reduced, saving the user time, dose, and money and delivering accurate readings within seconds. The innovation of the REACh™ Detector, built on the power & reliability of our RADMAN™ Suite, is the way of the future for how low-level waste will be characterized and classified. The results of the field test exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to providing our valued clients and partners with more updates soon. Previous Next

Discover the FLTRSTOR™ system, revolutionizing the handling of radioactive filters for enhanced efficiency. With integrated racks and pallets, our system accommodates up to 104 Tri Nuclear type filters, streamlining storage, shipping, and processing. Experience cost savings and increased productivity with this innovative solution, minimizing handling and maximizing container capacity for large-scale filter cleanout campaigns. FLTRSTOR™ The FLTRSTOR™ system revolutionizes the process of loading, storing, and shipping filters, significantly enhancing efficiency compared to the traditional method of simply dropping filters into a container. Comprising four (4) racks with integrated pallets, the FLTRSTOR™ system enables the reliable accommodation of up to 104 Tri Nuclear type filters (e.g., 6" diameter x 30" length) within our 8-120 custom Open-Top Container, which is provided as part of the system. This integrated solution eliminates the need for multiple handling of each filter during storage, dose profiling, container loading/unloading, and processing, while also increasing the quantity of filters that can be shipped simultaneously. By loading 104 filters in each outgoing FLTRSTOR™ container, significant cost savings are achieved by reducing the number of expensive 8-120B cask shipments and minimizing the required number of containers for large filter cleanout campaigns. Key Features One of the key advantages of the FLTRSTOR™ system is its ability to significantly reduce the number of lifting operations required to load filters into the container. This reduction not only minimizes personnel exposure (with one customer reporting a dose savings of over 50% compared to loading individual filters), but it also allows for the optimal positioning of higher dose rate filters at the center of the load, maximizing cask shielding during transport. This positioning is made possible by the traceable individual rack storage cell locations. Rack Handling The FLTRSTOR™ racks can be conveniently staged on the pool floor, occupying a footprint of 24" x 58". Alternatively, they can be hung from a suitable curb hanger with a robust weight capacity of approximately 500 lbs. Once a rack is fully loaded, it is removed and placed inside the provided WMG 8-120 custom open top container. Two (2) racks fit at the bottom of the 120 container, with the remaining two (2) racks stacking on top. Once all the racks are loaded, the container lid is securely re-installed, and the cask is prepared for shipment off-site to its ultimate disposition. Rack Features Stainless steel construction with multiple drain holes to support underwater loading. Height = 30 1/8" Footprint = 24"x54" Tare Weight = 180 lbs. Maximum Gross Weight = 530 lbs.

Discover the revolutionary REACh™ system for low-level waste characterization and classification. By measuring gamma dose rates and gamma emitting activity, REACh™ provides quick and accurate results. With waste stream specific scaling factors from the RADMAN™ database, even hard-to-detect nuclides are accounted for, ensuring complete characterization and classification in a single step. Trust REACh™ for efficient and precise waste management solutions. Unlock the Potential - Embrace the Future The REACh™ Detector System revolutionizing LLRW Waste Package Characterization - Where Accuracy Meets Efficiency! An Innovative Step The REACh™ System signifies an advancement in the way low-level waste is characterized and classified. By directly measuring gamma dose rates and gamma emitting activity of radionuclides, the REACh™ System can provide rapid and precise characterization results. This is made possible through a fully integrated system involving the REACh™ Detector and the RADMAN™ industry standard radwaste management platform. The detection of hard-to-detect radionuclides (e.g., H-3, C-14, Tc-99, TRUs, etc.) is achieved by utilizing waste stream specific scaling factors from the RADMAN™ database, thus enabling comprehensive characterization and classification in a single straightforward process. The Challenge Overly conservative results can significantly increase the costs associated with packaging, transporting, and disposing of the waste. Current methods for characterizing low-level radioactive waste rely on rough approximations that often lead to overly conservative results. To reduce cost and determine disposition alternatives, more accurate methods are necessary. The current regulatory guidance for characterizing Dry Active Waste (DAW) is hardly representative and the inaccuracies of this method are compounded by the practice of compositing the swipes over time prior to analysis. This leads to an underestimation of short-lived radionuclides, which are typically found in low-level radioactive waste (LLRW). When dose-to-curie conversion techniques are utilized and hard-to-detect radionuclides are estimated using scaling factors relative to Co-60 or Cs-137, underestimating the short-lived gamma emitters results in an overestimation of the hard-to-detect radionuclides, as well as Co-60 and Cs-137, since the majority of the dose rate is attributable to these two radionuclides. Reliable and efficient real-time radionuclide concentration data is crucial during the processing of nuclear waste at commercial power plants. Our Solution The REACh™ Detector system is the solution that has been developed to provide a fast, accurate In-Situ Characterization as compared to what is currently available. This Solution has been designed to save the user time with instantaneous readings, thus minimizing dose with an ALARA conscious solution, and minimizes potential human errors with the integration of both software and hardware.

< Back An Interview with our founder, Peter Tuite Dec 2, 2021 We sat down with Peter to ask him some questions about the industry, how he got his start, and more. What made you decide to start your own nuclear engineering company? Because, I had some skills that I thought could be applied. And you got to remember, when we first started, we did hazardous waste as well as nuclear waste. I had a partner, Bob, when I started, but it didn’t last very long. What were some of the biggest challenges you faced early on? Money. The first year, we went through 100k at the bank, and they called the note. That’s when Bob decided to go back to teaching (laughs) and we paid the bank off, and then I was on my own. How did RADMAN come into development? Well, I was involved in writing Part 61 before I started WMG. So, I worked with the guys at the NRC, and they had just instituted the topical report deal. So, I figured we’d put something together and submit a topical. The original RADMAN ran on a TRS 80 computer and included a dot matrix printer. What are some of the biggest changes or trends you’ve seen happen in the industry since you started WMG? There’s not much money to spend. Utilities are spending less money, there’s a larger focus on economics than there was before. Remember, they used to be able to just get automatic rate increases, which is no longer the case. And the guys in Radwaste are still pretty low on the totem pole. They don’t get the recognition in the industry that they deserve. When the NRC first started auditing plants, the guys in Radwaste had a lot more clout internally because nobody wanted to have conflict with the NRC. That is no longer the case. What is the most interesting customer support call you have ever received? (laughs) Wow. I won’t name the plant, but I trained them. In those days we used to send the code on about 5 floppy discs. And I got a call from one of the guys I trained, he was having problems with the new release. He said something along the lines of “I can get 3 of the discs in the drive, but I can’t get the fourth one in!!” What achievement are you most proud of? The longevity of the company. For it to have lasted so long, and to now have passed it on to my son. What advice do you have for younger engineers who are just starting out? Put in the time and know the subject better than anybody else you deal with. Be the smartest person in the room on the subject at hand. Where would you like to see WMG in another 10 years? (laughs) Around. I’d like to see us keep doing what we do, continuing to excel in engineering and software. Previous Next
