Gamma radiation monitoring system GAMON-S

spectroscopicreal-time

The GAMON-S spectrometer series has been designed for outdoor and indoor real-time radiation monitoring, for early environmental warning and emergency response. It can operate in harsh weather conditions and is protected from rain and moisture. The GAMON-S can be deployed in a wide range of scenarios, as in permanent ring monitoring as well as in moving monitoring stations. Thanks to the integrated GPS the system position can be easily monitored real time. The GAMON-S spectrometer runs automatic isotope identification and isotope related dose rate evaluation. The real time data processing and the defined isotope-based alarm allow GAMON-S to detect the presence of artificial nuclides in a short time window and more effectively compared to traditional dose rate meters. The gamma detector is composed by an inorganic scintillation crystal which can be either NaI(Tl), CeBr3 or LaBr3(Ce). NaI(Tl) is preferable its high light yield and moderate cost, LaBr3(Ce) for its excellent energy resolution and CeBr3 for its good energy resolution and low internal radioactivity. The user can select the isotopes to be identified from the library and adjust the thresholds of the isotope related alarms. The spectrum stabilization is obtained with the identification of natural occurring radionuclides as the K-40. CAEN offers both the GAMON-S as a stand alone unit for the integration in gamma monitoring networks or as integrated station including the stainless steel support structure, rain sensor, electronic cabinet with UPS, back up batteries and mobile communication modem. Photovoltaic power system can be provided for remote and unattended monitoring stations.
