Title: Open PEN detection and shut down system
Inventor: MATTHEW HUNT
IPC: H02H3/33
Filed: 2019-03-25
Abstract: An open protective earth neutral (PEN) and shut down system where a virtual neutral 5 is created by connecting together each of the three live conductors 1, 2, 3 in a star configuration 4.

Title: Nuclear radiation monitoring apparatus and method
Inventor: ANDREW ROBERT PRICE
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 2019-03-29
Abstract: A radiation portal monitor uses detector panels either side of a vehicle or object to monitor emitted radiation, divided vertically into time intervals or portions by using time after a beam break laser is blocked. For neutrons, the output of a detector above a threshold is used to classify radiation. For gamma, a spectral profile is determined which might be aggregated over all time intervals. The panel count rates are divided into virtual sub-portions associated with object height, and may be weighted according to distance between detector and region of object. Image data is generated associating intensity for each portion and/or sub-portion with radiation classification, which may be coloured according to a mapping between predetermined intensities and classifications. Illicit special nuclear material may therefore be identified.
