High Efficiency
|
Shorter counting times, higher sensitivity than low pressure He-3 tubes.
|
More throughput for high volume. Required capability in some applications.
|
|
Low background
|
Shorter counting times
|
More throughput for high volume. Required capability in some applications.
|
|
Discriminates n to gamma
|
Neutrons uniquely identify Pu and other fissile transuranics.
|
Low false alarm rate. Lower gamma ray into neutron channel than other solid state neutron detectors.
|
|
Large area detectors available
|
Higher sensitivity at distances and more uniform response for large objects.
|
Fast measurements at required distances to source.
|
|
Flexible detector shape
|
Conforms to object being counted
|
Unique for special shapes including cylinders (drums and containers) and people.
|
|
Fast response
|
150ns processing time is 50 times faster than He-3 tubes. Coincidence resolving times to 80ns.
|
Passive and active coincidence for larger masses. Reduces accidental coincidence rates.
|
|
Lightweight
|
Concealable and portable
|
Safeguards and field agent monitoring instruments.
|
|
Low-power
|
Portable systems use less than 7W power.
|
In-situ measurement applications powered for 8 hours per battery.
