STUK


The Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) uses TechniData devices to monitor environmental radiation.
“Because the TechniData data loggers use standard software, we are now able to configure measurements and data processing according to our needs. This is a great advantage because it allows us to implement new solutions fast and cost-effectively.” Dr. Harri Toivonen, Head of Laboratory, Security Technology, STUK.

Public Sector

Almost 300 measurement stations are used to monitor environmental radioactivity in Finland. When the time came to renew these stations, having carried out several field tests, the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) decided to use TechniData devices. The authority now benefits from the reliability, low operating costs, and increased flexibility these systems provide. Open interfaces and standards enable the custom configuration of software and mean that probes from a range of manufacturers can be integrated into the nationwide measurement network.

Company

Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) is a regulatory authority, research centre and expert organisation, whose mission is to protect people, society, environment and future generations from the harmful effects of radiation.

Benefit

  • A total of approximately 300 automated stations analyze ambient radiation.
  • Besides radioactivity, the measuring stations also record meteorological parameters, such as rainfall, wind, and
    temperature. This makes it possible to predict the temporal and geographic propagation of radioactivity and classify measurement values correctly.
  • Data Logger with LINUX based Embedded PC enables
    - the end user to customize the system by themselves
    - extend the stations with additional sensors in the future
