RadEye NL Personal Neutron Radiation Detector

Pocket-size, highly sensitive neutron radiation detector for rapid warning of neutron fields – a lightweight alternative to heavy, bulky Remcounters.

The RadEye NL brings portability to neutron measurements, primarily for nuclear facilities such as power plants and particle accelerators, where heavy and bulky spherical or cylindrical Remcounters have traditionally been used. It also suits users of industrial neutron sources, for example in geology and material testing, radiation protection staff and inspectors, and first responders.

The detector is normally worn in a holster. To use it as a hand-held survey meter and increase the efficiency for fast neutrons, it can be put into a moderator with handle, and a RadEye G-10 can be added for combined gamma and neutron dose rate measurements. It also has an earphone output for noisy environments and an alarm relay output for area monitor applications.

  • Significantly faster response time compared to traditional neutron meters
  • High degree of gamma rejection – no false neutron alarms
  • Can be worn in a holster, used as a hand-held unit or as an area monitor
  • Energy compensated neutron dose rate response when inserted into the optional moderator
  • Approx. 500 h operation time on two AAA batteries
