Portable spectrometers and radionuclide identifiers
The devices listed in this section are able to identify radioactive isotopes by analyzing the characteristic gamma emission spectra. The devices are often multipurpose/multitask instruments able to detect different forms of radiation and perform a variety of functions; used to search, detect and identify radioactive materials.
PM1401K Multipurpose radiation monitor / Identifier
Unique radiation survey meter incorporating three detectors for multipurpose use in a package small enough to be worn on a belt. Designed for detection and measurement of alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation, the instrument incorporates 4 measurement channels for: detection, location and identification of radioactive sources; dose rate measurement including alarm; measurement of surface contamination by alpha and beta sources; neutron source detection. On-board detectors as follows: CsI(Tl) scintillator for detection of gamma radiation, with spectroscopic capability for source material identification; Geiger-Müller counter for dose rate measurement and alpha/beta surface contamination survey; He-3 chamber for neutron detection. Includes 1024 channel analyser for gamma spectroscopy with spectra displayed on the LCD. As an option, the PM1401K can be supplied with an IPAQ Pocket PC and software for isotope identification, with data transferred in real time via IrDA (Infra-red) or Bluetooth wireless channels (option PM1401K Identifier).

SAM 940 Isotope identifier
Advanced real time isotope identifier with simple, one-handed operation, designed for first responder units, allowing identification of multiple radionuclides within one second. PC communication through CompactFlash card, ethernet, or USB. Several detector options are available: sodium iodide (NaI) for good efficiency and optimum price/performance, and fast and accurate isotope identification (2"x2" and 3"x3" available); lanthanum bromide for exceptional energy resolution (3% at 662 KeV); and lithium (6Li) neutron detection for enhanced detection of special nuclear materials. A GPS package option is also available.

PM1402M Multipurpose portable radiation monitor
A portable radiation detection laboratory incorporating a central processing unit and 5 external radiation detectors, housed in a robust carrying case together with cables and accessories. Used for detection and measurement of alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation; full external detector set consists of two CsI(Tl) scintillators for search and spectroscopy; a Geiger-Müller counter for dose rate measurement; a He-3 neutron detector; and a gas proportional counter for alpha and beta detection. The system is modular and may be supplied with any combination of probes. The processing unit features a 512 channel analyser with storage capacity for 110 spectra, which can be downloaded to a PC for analysis via an RS-232 data port plus audible and vibrating alarms.
