The WAM series monitors are intended for the quantitative and qualitative characterization of radioactive wastes deposited in waste drums with varying height, shape and weight. A typical application is the assay of low or intermediate-level waste to be deposited in a repository. Three series of WAM monitors are available: • WAM-200 series – a segmented gamma scanner, which evaluates the distribution of activity in drums in up to 9 vertical segments. • WAM-300 series – a segmented gamma scanner, which evaluates the distribution of activity and material density in drums in up to 9 vertical segments. • WAM-400 series – a tomographic gamma scanner, which evaluates the distribution of activity and material density in all parts of drums.
