The primary protection involves the installation of radiation detection systems at all points of entry at the steel mill. These radiation detection systems are also known as Radiation Portal Monitors (RPM) or gate systems.
Total Plant Protection Network integrates all of the radiation detection systems, providing easy access to radiation data to the local RSO for inspection and verification of radiation alarms anywhere in the plant.
The secondary protection has a main focus on all points where scrap is (again) handled such as the scrap bay, barge unloading area, charge bucket loading area, or internal scrap transports.
To certify the final steel product is free from radioactivity, RSI offers laboratory equipment to measure samples of the final product. We also recommend adding area monitors to the Plant Protection Network to alert mill personnel to possible radiation problems.
