Description
The Kromek D5 RIID is a ruggedised, handheld medium-resolution radionuclide identification device engineered for rapid gamma and neutron detection. Designed to bridge the gap between low-resolution basic identifiers and fragile, expensive high-purity germanium (HPGe) systems, the D5 RIID delivers lab-grade spectral accuracy straight into demanding field environments.
Distributed and supported across Canada by SciWise Solutions Inc., the D5 RIID equips first responders, CBRN teams, border security, and nuclear facility personnel with actionable, reliable radiological intelligence within seconds.
Additional information
- Advanced CLLBC Detector Technology: Combines high gamma sensitivity with reliable neutron detection in a single, robust handheld unit.
- Exceptional Medium-Resolution Spectra (<4%): Produces sharply defined energy peaks that separate closely spaced signatures, preventing misidentification and unmasking shielded or hidden sources (e.g., distinguishing Plutonium masked by medical Iodine).
- Ruggedised for Field Deployment: Unlike HPGe detectors that require liquid nitrogen cryogenic cooling and delicate handling, the D5 RIID is ready to deploy immediately with fast startup times.
- Precise Secondary Adjudication: Enables operators to accurately assess isotope origin and enrichment levels (such as differentiating naturally occurring radioactive materials from industrial/weapons-grade Uranium or Plutonium).
- Low False Alarm Rates: Continuous monitoring paired with intelligent algorithms minimizes false positives, giving ground personnel rapid, dependable alerts.
- Standalone Operation & Reachback Support: Operates seamlessly on the front lines without requiring secondary equipment, while delivering exportable adjudication spectra for expert reachback analysis.
