Nuclear Spectroscopy Systems
Today nuclear spectroscopy involves more than an accurate analysis of a sample. You also need to consider worker safety, protection of the environment, compliance with regulatory guidelines, and the need for electronic record keeping; this creates complex needs. NATS can offer traditional nuclear counting systems as well as more progressive, powerful, multitasking operating platforms involving electronic data storage, computer networking technology, breakthroughs in microelectronics, and enhanced graphics capabilities.

In Situ or Laboratory Object Counting Systems
In Situ
- Immediate, accurate, nuclide specific results for field measurement of any object or surface
- Sourceless detector specific calibrations generated by software as the sample is being counted - simply enter source/collimator/detector position dimensions
- Calibrations generated for any object/surface that can be approximated by plane, cylinder, box, sphere, well/Marinelli or pipe
- Mobile detector positioning device includes 25 mm and 50 mm collimators and backshields, and accommodates any detector orientation
Laboratory
- No radioactive sources needed for accurate efficiency calibrations in the laboratory
- Calibrations valid from zero distance out to 500 meters and from 45 keV to 7000 keV
- Calibrations accurate at any angle from detector, not just on centerline
- Eliminates the cost of purchasing radioactive standards, creating custom distributions, and radioactive waste disposal
- Operates with any size or type of germanium detector which has been characterized
- Includes library of common commercially available containers and tools for the user to create new containers
Gamma Analyst Integrated Gamma Spectrometer
The Gamma Analyst is an automatic sample changer that facilitates maximum sample throughput with the added flexibility to handle multiple sample geometries in any combination in a single sample batch. In addition to the features which facilitate flexible batch maintenance, the sample changer design minimizes the use of critical laboratory space for the gamma spectrometer.
