Model BNC-METRAD-1 Handheld Combined Metal and Gamma Radiation Detector

The MetRad 1 offers inspectors a dual-function scanner with full metal and radiation detection functionality. The handheld device allows fast localization of both metal contraband and radioactive materials. The act of scanning baggage or personnel adds to the probability that the nuclear detector is placed in close proximity to any radiation sources, overcoming the Inverse Square Law and increasing the probability of alarming on heavily shielded nuclear material also. The MetRad 1 has a large CsI detector with SiPM to give excellent responsiveness and robust durability as scanners are often dropped or handled aggressively. The large CsI ensures the detection ability is compliant with the ANSI N42.32 standard on PRDs, eliminating the need for multiple devices. Users can expect faster deployment and less calibration cost, less repairs, less time charging and managing multiple devices and less cost in training on two instruments. The MetRad 1 can reduce the overall number of instruments agents, responders and public officials need to wear. Tying the nuclear detector into an existing technology ensures the operation is sensitive to radiation at all times, even though actual alarms may be infrequent.

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.
