Ruselectronics holding has developed next generation industrial telemetry systems with high radiation resistance. They are designed for reactor core process control and visual core monitoring. This is necessary to maintain the performance of a key component of a nuclear power plant and to prevent accidents. Prototypes will be tested before the end of 2024.
The upgraded video surveillance system has been developed by Television Scientific Research Institute included in Ruselectronics. The system is to be used for examination of reactor vessels and internals, fuel assembly removal and installation control, and for surveillance over refueling operations and processes in the reactor and spent fuel storage pool.
The system contains a radiation-resistant camera that can be used in air and water at prompt gamma radiation up to 2 mrad/hour or at cumulative gamma radiation up to 200 mrad. A proprietary lens is designed to produce color and monochrome images with a resolution of at least 1000 television lines at an ambient temperature up to 120°C.
The camera is operated using a TV system unit with a membrane keyboard. All controllers are integrated into the panel to ensure safe utilization in reactor buildings and other nuclear facilities.
