The End of an Era - 18 years of the DMC 2000 The blog post titled "The End of an Era: 18 Years of the DMC-2000" discusses the discontinuation of Mirion Technologies' DMC-2000 dose rate monitor after its successful run of 18 years since 1998. The DMC-2000 was a popular and reliable device used in the nuclear industry for monitoring radiation levels. The post highlights the features and benefits of the DMC-2000, such as its ability to accurately measure gamma and neutron radiation, as well as its user-friendly interface. Mirion Technologies expresses gratitude to its customers and explains that the discontinuation is a result of advancements in technology, leading to the development of newer and more advanced models (DMC-3000). Most importantly, I would like to add that DMC-2000 has been a stable and reliable product for nearly two decades, with some of the units from those first few years still in active service at various sites.  There were a few DMC 2000s being used at a research station in Antarctica, putting the DMC 2000 in service on all seven continents, and giving it a truly global legacy.

Endoscope systems for nuclear monitoring. In the nuclear industry - endoscopes are a tool commonly use to help optically monitor radioactive processes. In such applications long term resistance of the endoscope to radiation is critical. To improve the safety of monitoring a glass vitrification process at a UK radioactive waste reprocessing plant, Resolve Optics recently developed and supplied an Infrared (IR) endoscope optimised to operate with a thermal camera. Operating at 7-14 microns, the prime function of the IR endoscope was to provide the desired field of view to monitor the vitrification cell and to transfer the image to a bolometer based thermal camera.

Zoom lens for 1-inch format nuclear cameras. Camera sensor size is one of the most important factors in determining overall camera performance and image quality. Increasingly nuclear monitoring system integrators are using 1-inch sensors in their shielded cameras. This is because the larger area sensor can theoretically capture more light and produce higher image quality. Our new 6x Non-Browning Zoom Lens (the Model 408-000) is the first radiation resistant zoom lens optimised to deliver the full benefits of a 1-inch sensor format shielded camera used for nuclear monitoring applications.

The authors of "Live-cell imaging under centrifugation characterized the cellular force for nuclear centration in the Caenorhabditis elegans embryo" address the fact that "the force required to move large organelles, such as the nucleus, inside the cytoplasm is limited". I've always wanted to make an instrument that carries our optics module with the centrifuge through a rotational USB connection. https://lnkd.in/gABtR64c #livecellimaging

A snakebot fitted with camera, lights and radiation dosemeters has been trialled in one of Dounreay’s defunct nuclear laboratories. A decommissioned nuclear power plant in Caithness has seen the first use of a radiation detecting snakebot, developed by a team from the Dounreay plant in collaboration with the University of Nottingham, and Ice Nine - Mobile robotic solutions, who specialise in customising robots for hazardous areas. The snakebot has been used to squeeze into one of Dounreay’s redundant labs to inspect the area underneath a mechanically-armed turntable inside a nuclear cell. Fitted with a camera, lights and finger dosemeters to detect radiation, the snakebot has been designed as a simple, inexpensive and potentially disposable robot that could access severely restricted areas that could not be reached by workers.

QuantumEnhanced Adaptive Sphere The Quantum-Enhanced Adaptive Sphere (QEAS) is a groundbreaking project aimed at integrating cutting-edge quantum technologies into versatile applications, ranging from environmental sensing to advanced weaponry capabilities. At its core, the QEAS utilizes Quantum NanoAssembler (QNA) technology and quantum sensing principles to achieve unprecedented levels of precision and adaptability. 1. Quantum NanoAssembler (QNA)The QEAS incorporates QNA technology, enabling manipulation of quantum states at the atomic level. This capability is pivotal for real-time adjustments and precise control over various aspects of the sphere's functionality. 2. Environmental Sensing Leveraging quantum sensing and metrology the QEAS is equipped to measure and respond to environmental factors with unparalleled accuracy. This includes monitoring magnetic fields, gravitational waves, and other critical parameters crucial for optimal performance and decision-making. 3. Adaptive Nuclear Weaponry Integrating quantum manipulation of mercury atoms into nuclear weaponry introduces the ability to dynamically adjust destructive power based on realtime environmental feedback. This not only enhances tactical flexibility but also ensures optimal utilization of resources and minimizes collateral damage.
