Three different detector types Sodium Iodide (NaI), Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr), and High Purity Germanium (HPGe) (read more)

Radiography involves the use of penetrating X- or gamma radiation to examine parts and products for flaws that could be detrimental to their intended use. An X-ray machine or radioactive isotope is used as a source of radiation. Radiation is directed through a part onto a film or an electronic device (plate). (read more)

One critical specification for Isotope Identifiers is resolution. For the SAM Revealer , the typical resolution is 2.8%. Lanthanum Bromide (LaBr) resolution is approximately a factor of 2.5 times better than sodium iodide detectors... (read more)

TSA Systems has developed a software package to compliment its outstanding array of radioactive detection systems. Radioactive Alarm and Video Event Notification, RAVEN software, was designed to both capture and view data and video images relating to a radiological detection incident. (read more)

Beta Backscatter method offers a great deal of versatility and can be used to measure: paint, oil, lubricating films, plastic, enamel, ceramic and phosphate coatings on metals and some non-metals. Also metal coatings on other metals, including some coatings too thick for X-ray test methods. (read more)

TSA's PRM-470C hand held series is a popular choice for locating radioactive sources and measuring intensity in the field. Applications include SNM searches at plant exits, material access areas and background monitoring. The small size, light weight and long battery life make it ideal for searching vehicles that require extended search times. (read more)

The BM-185D is designed to scan small items (less than 1 ft3), for radioactive contamination. It provides 4pi geometry and efficiency of greater than 45% for 60Co.

The BM-185D is ideal for monitoring small items prior to release and provides accurate go/no go analysis with typical scan times of one to three minutes. (read more)

Metal diaphragm compressors feature freedom from contamination and leakage of the process gas, making them ideal for handling toxic, explosive, flammable, high purity, corrosive, radioactive or expensive gases. (read more)

The PM-702B is a low cost, highly reliable personnel portal Category II SNM monitor. It will detect 10g of ²³⁹Pu (HEU) on a walk-through basis. The system consists of three main components; two vertical pillars each containing an organic plastic scintillator detector, and a crossover pillar. (read more)
