Radiation Sensing
Our core radiation sensing technology combines advanced sensors (lanthanum bromide, sodium iodide, cadmium-zinc-telluride, lithium6-fiber and helium) with sophisticated analytical engines powered by multi channel spectrum analyzers and high-speed digital signal processors. We have developed unique approaches to the design and assembly of the basic sensing materials which improve the ability of our units to accurately distinguish between man-made and natural sources of radioactivity. One of our handheld units, for example, provides simultaneous gamma and neutron radiation detection at very low emission rates (1microrem/hour).
