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.

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.
