Gamma spectroscopy software ISOTOPIC

analysismeasurementlaboratory

ISOTOPIC provides a practical solution to a wide range of gamma-ray radiation measurement problems encountered in site characterization and waste container measurements. The easy-to-use software is based on work done originally at several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites in the analysis of thousands of fissile waste containers and in methods developed at the U.S. Energy Measurements Laboratory (EML-NYC) for measuring wide-area contamination of soils and surfaces. ISOTOPIC operates under the latest 64-bit operating systems, and supports the vast majority of ORTEC spectroscopy hardware offerings. In particular, ISOTOPIC forms the software element of the exciting ISO-CART-85 mobile low level waste assay system. ISOTOPIC places emphasis on practicality, flexibility and defendability of results through the use of traceable calibrations. ISOTOPIC provides an integrated, practical solution to a wide range of gamma-ray measurement problems encountered in radioactive waste assay and characterization applications. High resolution, high purity germanium (HPGe) spectra are analyzed and assay results determined for large-scale bulk samples. ISOTOPIC can be used “out of the box” as part of a simple to operate mobile system, such as an ORTEC ISO-CART-85 or it can be integrated into an automated system, for example, for high throughput measurements of large containers in decommissioning projects. Applicability The following geometries are easily accommodated: Boxes, Drums, Pipes or Surfaces (collimated detector) Close Geometry small containers (e.g. bottles on-endcap) Wide Area Assay of Soils and Surface (uncollimated detector: M-1 methodology)
