Wilma: The ideal solution for radionuclide detection in water
12th May 2021
Wilma: Online radiation monitor
Wilma utilises a novel approach to streamline the time-consuming process of sample collection and preparation traditionally required for detecting alpha and beta contamination in water via liquid scintillation counting.
Where is Wilma used?
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) installed Wilma, supplied by our sister company LabLogic, to monitor tritium (3H) levels in cooling tower water at its Nuclear Reactor Laboratory facility.
In the UK, Wilma contributes to the MetroDECOM II EMPIR project with the National Physical Laboratory, by aiming to provide a remote, automated air monitoring system to deploy to test sites, enabling the safe storage and disposal of nuclear waste.
Easily customisable
Wilma can be fully customised to suit any application. The system can integrate additional sensors and measurement systems, handle complex sampling and preparation routines, and integrate with external monitoring and alarm networks.
Two current configurations include a Ground Water Radiation Monitor and a Tritium in Air Monitoring System. Click below to read about the configurations in more detail.
