BACKGROUND

Nuclear Material is dissolved in a hot cell to extract radioactive isotopes, used for diagnoses and treatment in the field

• f nuclear medicine

Various gasses are released, one of which is H2 Due to presence of H2 and air (O2) in the purge gas it is vital to monitor the hydrogen LEL from a safety perspective The H2 conc. is required as an input in order for the hot cell PLC to take corrective action, before

• conc. exceeds the LEL of

hydrogen (4% v/v)

BACKGROUND

The main project objective is the installation of a hydrogen gas monitoring system that is compliant with the necessary regulatory and quality requirements. The functions of the hydrogen gas monitoring system shall be to:

• Extract a sample from the off gas stream (from the HVAC system located outside the hot

cell)

• Condition the sample (if required)
• Analyse the sample for H2 gas volume concentration
• Transmit the H2 gas concentration signal to the hot cell PLC; and
• Return the analysed sample to the same off gas stream where the sample was taken

Execution

Envisaged execution options/proposals are as follows:

• 1. Original Equipment Manufacturer providing full solution
• 2. Engineering Contractor subcontracting the Original Equipment Manufacturer
• 3. Consortiums between Engineering Contractors and Original Equipment manufactures

Due to the Nuclear Classification Nature of the hydrogen Analyser system, which is Safety class-2 component the following are Mandatory from the bidders:

• Suppliers of the services to have ISO 9001: 2008 or Later Certification
• Supplier to be qualified by employer for services in line with QCL-2 component supply

requirements

• Ensure compliance to nuclear safety class-2 requirements in design and supply of the

components.

• Relevant experience in gas monitoring systems with track record supplied
• Technology Performance Guarantee and Remote Maintenance Support
