Install a Rad-Hardened CCTV System to Increase Plant Uptime Online monitoring with live video provides you with so much more information than you ever get from the control room gauges: t Monitor critical components and equipment inside the Drywell or Containment t Monitor personnel while conducting powered entries t Active monitoring of temperature and vibration of rotating equipment Once your plant installs a Diakont rad-hardened CCTV system, your operators and engineers will have the data they need to make confident, informed decisions about power levels and outage maintenance scope. Diakont CCTV camera systems are design to operate in accident conditions, and will continue to perform in extreme environmental conditions. Diakont CCTV systems are modular, so it’s easy to start with any number of cameras, and expand later. Wireless signal transmission, web access, and the use of existing penetrations make installation and operation easy.
