Our solution: RadSpect Radiation Portal Monitor

The LB 690 / LB 69xx RadSpect Radiation Portal Monitor provides continuous and automated monitoring of waste transport vehicles during drive-through operation. The system reliably detects radioactive sources or contaminated waste before unloading takes place. Automatic background compensation eliminates shielding effects caused by the vehicle or its load, ensuring stable and reliable measurement results.

If predefined alarm thresholds are exceeded, an alarm is triggered immediately, allowing affected vehicles to be stopped and appropriate actions to be taken. In this way, the system helps operators of waste-to-energy plants comply with regulatory requirements, maintain safe plant operation, and avoid costly downtime or decontamination measures.

Customer benefits

  • Early detection of radioactive materials in incoming waste before unloading
  • Protection of personnel, facilities and the environment from radioactive contamination
  • Prevention of costly plant shutdowns and decontamination measures
  • Reliable compliance with regulatory and safety requirements

Technical features

  • Automated radiation monitoring of incoming waste vehicles
  • High sensitivity through large-volume scintillation detectors
  • Stable and reproducible results through automatic background radiation compensation
  • Robust design for continuous industrial and outdoor operation

Measuring arrangements & function

Customised arrangements for your portal monitor

The detectors of the radiation portal monitor can be combined or reconfigured in terms of number and orientation to fit different site layouts and traffic needs. This flexible design allows easy expansion, maintenance, and upgrades while ensuring reliable radiation detection at entry points such as waste reception areas, facility entrances, logistics zones, or other controlled access points.

Arrangement with vertical detectors on both sides

  • Automatic drive‑through radiation detection – no manual detection required
  • Dual side monitoring for enhanced accuracy, with detectors positioned on both sides of the vehicle
  • Immediate identification of radioactive materials before entering or leaving the facility
  • Safe, fast and uninterrupted material flow during daily operation

Arrangement with top and one or two side detectors

  • Enhanced detection for low‑profile or compact loads
  • Space‑saving single‑side installation for narrow or wall‑mounted setups
  • Improved sensitivity from above when sources may be positioned higher inside the load
  • Flexible setup for special applications
