  • Device for monitoring nuclear material placed in a glove box
    Patent number: 9046610
    Abstract: A mechanical device for supporting and attaching at least one ionizing radiation detection probe. For each detection probe it includes one probe-holder ending in a collimator-holder able to support a collimator intended to delimit a field of observation of the detection probe, and an attachment device intended to be attached to a glove port of a glove box, where the probe-holder, or each probe-holder, cooperates with the said attachment device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2011
    Date of Patent: June 2, 2015
    Assignee: Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives
    Inventors: Christophe Brenneis, Christian Ducros, Fabrice Lamadie, Philippe Girones
  • Radiological characterization device protected against parasitic ionizing radiation sources
    Patent number: 8507861
    Abstract: A radiological characterization device comprising at least one collimated radiological measuring probe, a sensitive end of which is placed in an exchangeable collimator having an opening and a field of observation. The collimator is carried by a collimator holder, the assembly consisting of collimator and collimator holder being inserted in a stack between two shielding screens, the shielding screens being exchangeable so as to adjust the thickness thereof, the assembly consisting of collimator and collimator holder and the shielding screens providing protection for the probe vis-à-vis parasitic ionizing radiation coming from ionizing radiation sources situated outside the field of observation of the collimator.
