General Description
The HDS-101GN is designed to search for and identify radioactive materials and to respond to radiological threats such as illicit trafficking and RDDs. The HDS-101Gn can identify radionuclides and classify them as medical, industrial, naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) and special nuclear materials (SNM). The HDS-101G/GN are ideally suited for First Responders, Border & Customs inspectors, Law Enforcement Officers, Site Security in critical infrastructures, and for all applications related to the control of radioactive and nuclear materials.
Technical Description
NORM Medical Discrimination algorithm (NMD) categorizes and identifies up to 4 isotopes simultaneously.
