RadEye SPRD-GN Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detector

Pager-sized spectroscopic personal radiation detector for gamma detection, gamma identification and neutron detection with a single CLYC detector.

The RadEye SPRD-GN uses a spectroscopic Cs₂LiYCl₆:Ce (CLYC) detector that is sensitive to both gamma and neutron radiation. Pulse shape discrimination (PSD) separates gamma radiation from neutron radiation, so the neutron background count rate contains true neutron events only and very sensitive neutron alarm levels can be set. Gain is continuously referenced to the cosmic background neutron peak in the spectrum, without a check source.

The instrument can be worn in a holster or on a standard service belt and guides the user through the next steps after an alarm. Spectra are downloaded and viewed in a single step with the included software, as ANSI N42.42-2012 compliant files for local review and reachback.

  • Gamma detection, gamma ID and neutron detection in a small handheld pager
  • Single detector enables less complex design, superior field reliability and reduced size and weight
  • Neutron alarms in < 2 seconds compared to 5 seconds in both the ANSI N42.32 2016 and ANSI N42.48 2008 test procedures
  • Advanced NBR identifies artificial radiation while minimising false alarms
  • Continuous source-less gain stabilisation, even over open water
  • Can be configured as a basic PRD with no classification, with simplified ID or with full spectroscopic capability
