Cobalt-60 Supply

When building an irradiator it is vital that cobalt-60 is available to load when the facility is complete. Powerplus Systems Ltd are flexible. Either the customer can arrange the first cobalt-60 loading with a third party, or Powerplus have negotiated an agreement for the supply of cobalt-60 from one of the worlds most respected cobalt-60 source manufacturers.

 

About Us

Powerplus was formed in 1984 and since that time has been deeply involved in the design, manufacture, installation, commissioning, repair and servicing of irradiation facilities all over the world.

 

Powerplus Systems Ltd has developed sophisticated plant control systems which offer improved reliability coupled with greater cobalt efficiency.

 

Powerplus also supply complete computerised dosimetry systems. This bespoke software is developed in house and can be closely integrated with existing inventory or plant control software.
