Viridian pitches at Nuclear Technology Showcase Our three minute pitch about the ViridiScan R&D project and the First of a Kind deployment of ViridiScope created a great deal of interest and we were networking all day. The event was attended by well over a hundred participants eager to hear about the KTN’s new challenges under ‘Nuclear Innovation Exchange’. We were able to talk to Wood, Nuvia and Sellafield about their technical challenges but also made some new contacts which will result in interesting future collaborations.

Urenco experience ViridiScan in action They visited our workshop for a demonstration of ViridiScan, our portable system for in-situ analysis of samples collected with ViridiScope. Microwave digestion is used to produce a solution that is analysed in-situ using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICPMS). The advantage of ICPMS over radiometric techniques is that it can measure radioisotopes (particularly for the actinides) and stable isotopes. URENCO Nuclear Stewardship has been in operation since 2012. It is a...
