The Argos family of Whole Body Contamination Monitors provides the ultimate userfriendly operation, with thorough and reliable detection of external contamination on personnel working in nuclear environments.
The Argos-3 Compact features the most compact dimensions of all Mirion Whole Body Contamination Monitors and is therefore well suitable for locations with size constraints. It is ideal for reliable contamination control at checkpoints inside a radiologically controlled area (RCA), as a pre-monitor or at the exit of the controlled area. When equipped with optional casters (SCN 7063138) the Argos-3 Compact can be easily moved to temporary checkpoints.
The Argos-3 Compact is available in four versions:
• Argos-3AB Compact is equipped with our most advanced LFP-579 gas flow detectors optimized for the best possible alpha and beta response.
