General Description
NeutronRAE II is a radiation detector to provide rapid detection of both gamma and neutron radiations. It was designed specifically to meet the needs of first responders.
Technical Description
It uses a CsI scintillation detector for gamma detection and a LiI scintillator for neutron detection.
