It was a pleasure to discuss the capabilities of our laser sampler with a team of experts from Atkins
Our visitors are always surprised how quiet ViridiScope is in operation, the compactness of the control systems, and the lightness of the sampling head. We particularly enjoyed the opportunity to discuss things analytical with our colleagues from Atkins at our North Wales workshop, including our ability to begin measuring gross alpha/beta and gamma spectra within minutes of sample collection. In situations where there are thousands of samples to be collected, using ViridiScope can save time and, more importantly, provide samples that can be characterised on the same day. It will be possible in future to review results on a daily basis to inform sampling strategies, resulting in the most efficient use of time, and hence huge savings on decommissioning contracts.
