Reference # : Model No :
SNIPER-GN is a new compact and transportable instrument which integrates a Special Nuclear Material (SNM) isotope identifier with a high resolution hand-held gamma detector.
SNIPER-GN is easily deployable for rapid scanning of sensitive areas (restaurants, airports, subway stations, shopping malls, etc.) suitable for terroristic threats like dirty bomb and silent source. Its compact design makes it also suitable for a series of sequential measurements in-field making it ideal for orphan source searching.
Benefits
Detection, localization and quantification of radioactive materials as Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) or Radiological Dispersal Devices (RDD).
Gamma and gamma/neutron radiation detection and discrimination device.
Hand-held gamma spectrometer for radionuclide identification.
Integrated and complete radiation survey system.
Neutron source ID with discrimination between fissile material, alpha-n source and Plutonium.
Online pulse shape discrimination through 250 MS/s flash ADC.
