Description
The MetRad1 offers inspectors a dual-function scanner with complete metal and
radiation detection functionality. The handheld device allows fast localization of both
metal contraband and radioactive materials. Among the many benefits provided by the
MetRad 1, accuracy is the most important one. By using the MetRad1 to closely scan
items and individuals, security personnel will increase the probability of pinpointing
illegal radiation sources. This not only minimizes limits imposed by the Inverse Square
Law, it maximizes the positive alarm rate on heavily shielded nuclear material.
The MetRad1 employs a large CsI detector with SiPM for excellent
responsiveness and robust durability if handled roughly or even if dropped. The
detecting ability of the large CsI scintillator eliminates the need for carrying additional
personal radiation detectors because the MetRad1 is compliant with ANSI N42.32-2016
standard for PRDs. Users can expect faster deployment, fewer repairs, and convenient
management for multiple devices, as well as lower calibration, charging, and training
costs.
The MetRad1 can reduce the overall number of instruments that agents,
responders, and public officials need to wear. Melding the radiation detector into an
existing security technology ensures continuous radioactive awareness for those rare
occasions when an actual radiation alarm may occur.
