Dirad Gamma Spectroscopic Radiation Monitor

Real-time spectrometric RPM with high volume NaI (Sodium Iodide) detector for access control

The radiation detection system DIRAD is an automatic real-time Gamma spectroscopic monitor to detect and identify illegal and hazardous movements of radioactive materials on public roads or pathways.

DIRAD can continuously monitor a flow of people, vehicles and goods without limiting their movement. DIRAD is equipped with an optional GPS for the localization and dating of each event. It can be connected to a camera for recording images to identify the vehicle or person detected as carrying a radioactive object.

Real-time spectroscopic identification:

The compact, sturdy design and remote supervision via TCP/IP allow DIRAD to be installed in a variety of public places, where real-time spectroscopic features help identify hazardous threats like dirty bombs or Radiological Dispersal Devices.

Easy-to-install system:

DIRAD is easily relocatable and can also be used onboard vehicles.

Alarm classification:

Isotope identification, always performed in real-time, focuses attention only on very hazardous threats, preventing response to false alarms due to NORM materials and medical isotope. Its PC-based supervision software shows the full alarmed spectrum, allowing the operator to perform an in-depth analysis of the case.

DIRAD provides a high-volume, extremely sensitive NaI detector (4L) and a fast processing proprietary algorithm for nuclide identification capabilities, to distinguish between NORM alarms. This advanced technology was developed in collaboration with CEA, a leading French research, development and innovation institute.
DIRAD can be used indoors and outdoors. Several configurations and options are available, according to the customer’s needs.
