Gamma detector SNIPER-GN

neutronspectroscopicportable

Special Nuclear material Portable identifier Features • Detection and localization of radioactive materials such as Special Nuclear Material (SNM) and Radiological Dispersal Devices (RDD) even when moderated (polyethylene), shielded or masked. • High-resolution spectroscopy detector for identification of gamma emitters. • High efficiency gamma/neutron detector for neutron source identification. • Discrimination between fissile material, alpha-n source, Plutonium and Uranium (enrichment estimation level in 1 min). • Real-time gamma/neutron discrimination using algorithms implemented by CAEN for the IAEA Safeguards Fast Neutron Collar Monitor. • Software functionalities including Search, Mapping and Identification. • Highly portable (i.e., backpack or trolley) and adaptable system (<7.8kg). • Powered by Rechargable Batteries – runtime 8+ hours. The SNIPER-GN is a radiation detection system designed to be quickly deployed by the nuclear security community for homeland security and/or for emergency response purposes. The SNIPER-GN can “detect and identify” Plutonium, SNM, and spent fuel in just a few seconds and at distances ten times greater than current detection standards (ISO and ANSI) enabling security personnel to immediately recognize and resolve hidden threats without the need to introduce costly secondary detection measures or highly specialized personnel. A patented algorithm allows to identify the SNM through neutron measurements, very difficult to shield and detectable at high distance (this feature is not yet included in any ISO and ANSI standard).
