< 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

Removed the ability to move (i.e., change the location of) shipped packages. Change the UI theme for the shipped shipments screen to distinguish it from the staged shipments screen. Remove the ability to change manifest notes when editing a package. Add additional information (plant name, contact name) to the shipper dropdown when adding a shipment. Updated Shipment DOT Override options to allow for Type A evaluation when LSA/SCO 3-meter dose rate exceeds 1 rem/h. Updated the activity cutoff client setting function so nuclides below the cutoff threshold which are in the top 95% of activity contribution will no longer be removed. Cutoff logic applies only to the Package Characterization, DOT and Radioactive Reports. Update scaling logic to more consistently handle LLD nuclides. Removed the OMB expiration date from the NRC forms 540, 540A, 541, and 541A. It is no longer required. Updated the NRC Universal Low-Level Waste Manifest forms to report the current NUREG/BR-0204 Rev 3 form edition (04-26-2023). Bug Fixes Restored the "Create new filter?" prompt that is displayed when saving a filter. This function was inadvertently disabled in a prior update. Fixed an error shown when viewing or editing a shipment with a shipper that has been archived. Fixed a bug that miscalculated the combined package tare weight when inner container(s) are included. Corrected an error with the overpack (-OP) container description not being shown correctly on some manifest formats. Updated the uncombine filters listing to exclude shipped filters. Fixed an error when attempting to review or send a notification regarding a shipment to your client via StORM. Fixed a bug which prevented updates to a package/waste stream 1.21 category before generating the Reg Guide 1.21 report. Fixed a bug with the ETrans file output if the user overrides one of the Manifest Note 2 to be blank. Corrected an error that prevented report generation of packages received via StORM. Fixed a bug with the sample revision date not changing when cloning a sample. Fixed a bug with the "external dimensions" checkbox being erroneously unchecked when editing a container. Updated the combined package screen to use the appropriate client selected unit of measure in the Working Totals section. Fixed a bug on the dose-to-curie validation report which displayed an incorrect low energy cutoff value. Fixed a bug which erroneously reset container variables (like percent full) when refreshing the screen while adding a combined package. Fixed a bug where the vendor's name could be blank when adding a sample. Updated reports to prevent very low weight and volume values from displaying "0" due to rounding and formatting. Fixed a bug where the H-3 override did not use the correct units of measure for SI units. Fixed a bug when choosing "Save As" after decay correcting a distribution would not correctly decay the new distribution. Updated contamination inputs to support decimal values. Fixed a bug where the continuation page for the material shipping papers would not display the contents description. Updated filter break point report formatting so breakpoints less than 1 will no longer display as "0". Fixed a bug when generating the manifest from the Add Shipment screen would alter a package's nuclides to remove the LLD flag, impacting subsequent reports.

The Problem Back in 1979, the NRC wasn't playing games. They were seriously concerned about the chaos surrounding the shipments of low-level radioactive wastes. So, what did they do? They dropped the IE Bulletin 79-19 bomb, laying down the law for licensees. The mandate? Straightforward: provide training and periodic retraining. What's on the menu? A feast of DOT and NRC regulatory requirements, the lowdown on waste burial license requirements, and a thorough understanding of [the Site’s] operating procedures. But wait, there's more! It's not just the 79-19 in the mix. Enter 49 CFR Part 172 Subpart H, adding its own spice to the training stew. It's crystal clear—training and periodic retraining cycles are on a schedule: once every three years for the DOT/NRC crew and every two years for the IATA aficionados. The NRC dropped the mic, and we're here to make sure you're not missing a beat in this regulatory rhythm. The Solutions WMG is your go-to for regulatory training that's not just a session; it's an experience.
