Description

The Model F10000 System is a a large capacity 370 TBq  (10,000 Curies) Beam Irradiator with an adjustable collimator.  The collimator meets ISO 4037 requirements for use at SSDL facilities.

The Model FT 60 Instrument Calibration Table is integrated with the irradiation system to provide discrete distances from source centerline.   The FT 60 system is available with up to three axis of movement and a 100 cm x 200 cm calibration table.

This integrated system is available with either analog or digital controllers.   The optional DoseTracker interface provides an exposure database.

Specifications

Special Form Co-60 Sources:

  • A maximum of 370 TBq (10,000 Curies) in a tungsten holder
  • Beam height 100 to 150 cm above the floor

Maximum Dose Rate:

  • 220 cGy/min @ 100 cm  +/- 10%

Collimator:

  • Minimum 5.0 cm x 5.0 cm @ 100 cm
  • Maximum 50.0 cm x 50.0 cm @ 100 cm
  • Manual Leaf (paired) adjustment with digital readout of each collimator axis  – 00.0 cm
  • Collimator Rotation – 100 Degrees minimum
  • Field Light included

 

Control Panel Features

  • BEAM OFF and BEAM ON selection switches and indicators
  • 0000.00 minute PRESET timer (manual or computer timing available)
  • Individual interlock indication lights
  • Keyed power switch and EMERGENCY OFF switch

Safety Measures

  • External Radiation Levels:  The Model F10000 has very low external radiation levels, which average < 25 microSv/hr at the surface and < 10 microSv/hr at 30 CM from the surface of the device (OFF position)

  • ROOM Interlocks:   The Model F10000 has SIX levels of interlocks to prevent accidental personnel exposures.  Our PRE ALARM circuit requires a final inspection of the exposure chamber prior to an irradiation cycle.  A 500 kg electro-magnet LOCKS the exposure room door closed prior to initiation of an irradiation cycle
