The Sentry ISOLOK RSS point sampler provides automated sampling of radioactive slurries from the safety of a remote operator station. Upon operator signal, a sample bottle is lifted into position, and the sampler operates by compressed air forcing a plunger into the process line to capture a fixed volume of material. The plunger retracts and sample is flushed into the bottle. The sample bottle then is lowered into a lead cask. The shielded cask cover rotates closed and the mobile transport cart then can be removed.
The ISOLOK RSS sampler ensures the utmost safety and protection of nuclear plant operators as well as other personnel and the environment. It features remotely operated push button sampling and a mobile sample transport cart with braking system.
