Overview of RadEye Spectroscopic Radiation Detectors for nuclear power facilities
| Current challenge | Model to solve | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy meters for dose for monitoring ambient dose rate | RadEye G | Gamma dose rate readings in a pager-sized instrument |
| Time-consuming sample gathering and lab-based counting needed to identify isotope present in survey result | RadEye SPRD | Immediately identifies isotope present so you can act quickly |
| Multiple devices needed to survey nuclear radiation waste and shipping materials | Range of RadEye instruments | One lightweight device can measure multiple radiation types |
| Large and heavy Rem Ball and meter are difficult to manage for neutron surveys | RadEye NL | Less than 8 lbs |
| Emergency planning requires multiple large inventory instruments | RadEye SX, RadEye G and RadEye B20 ER | Fewer, small handheld instruments minimize prep and ownership costs |
| Field contamination alpha/beta counting takes a long time to complete | RadEye HEC | Delivers counting room accuracy in a handheld device that can be used anywhere |
| Upgrade costs for new probes when changing instruments | RadEye X Series | Modern, digital meter can be used with most existing probes |

Take advantage of configurable pre-outage, outage, and post-outage support programs offered by our certified factory trained experts to maximize your nuclear power plant efficiency, comply with critical timelines, and manage unplanned costs.
The natural background rejection (NBR) measurement method has been developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific for extremely fast discrimination between natural and artificial gamma radiation and is deployed on all Thermo Scientific radiation monitors. Using an instrument with NBR allows you to keep your alarm threshold extremely low without the need to worry about false alarms from non-threatening sources.
