Non-contact radar & switch

Decommissioning nuclear sites involves items being packed and shipped in approved transport flasks to storage and reprocessing facilities. The loading of these flasks involves radioactive materials being placed inside and then filled with water, which protects the contents during transport. The water filling requires precision - the flask needs to be filled right to the top, but stop any overspilling of the water.

At Dounreay an Emphasis approved non contact Vegapuls radar from VEGA Controls is being used for the continuous level measurement.

Vegaswing has also been supplied a for the high level switch, a fail safe vibrating fork, also approved for use as it is classified as a 'simple device' (no microprocessors).

They have been specially engineered for the application by VEGA.
