 : systems in operation
The Mexican Commission of Nuclear Protection and Security –
CNSNS – decided in 2001 for GammaTRACER for setting up a nation
wide automatic network for monitoring ambient radioactivity
(RENAMORA). With the aid of the IAEA in a first phase 10 autonomous
probes have been installed around the NPP at Laguna Verde. For
transmission of data to CNSNS headquarter in Mexico City DataGATE
devices are applied as interfaces to induct data into the public
telephone network. In the final stage RENAMORA will be extended to a
total of more than 50 GammaTRACER probes spread over the whole
country. Therewith the network will cover 80 per cent of
Mexico’s total population.

In 1999 the Ukrainian NPP Rovenskaja, Rovno, has placed a contract
for a conventional cable linked network of 40
GammaTRACER probes. The background to choose this technical
solution was based on the fact that the system had to be integrated
in structures available with the former environmental surveillance
system. The contract was gained by the efforts of Positron
Technology, Frankfurt. The system is in operation since summer 1999,
see reference letter after more than two years of operation.
In April/May 1999 the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute (SHMI),
Jaslovske Bohunice, has fully equipped their national environmental
monitoring network with 27 GammaTRACER
probes in a conventional cable linked set-up. This approach was
chosen to include the equipment into the existing national network.
Future plans reach out to a complete restructuring of the network in
favor of the SkyLINK approach. The contract
was followed by Austrian based Ysselbach Umwelttechnik GmbH, Vienna,
together with Saphymo.
