This work deals with the last measurement campaign done at the AREVA NC La Hague reprocessing plant with the new industrial ADONIS system called ADONIS LYNX. In this paper we briefly explain the ADONIS bimodal Kalman smoother. Next, we present the experimental set-up as well as the industrial approach for the ADONIS system. Results from measurement campaign are then discussed. Some ways of improvement are also explained.
