SAM 940 Isotope Identifier Training in Indonesia

Recently Berkeley Nucleonics' representative from NATS, Ed Maswood, conducted an onsite training in Indonesia as a part of BNC's continuing global effort to assist in the monitoring and identification of nuclear isotopes.

A New Activity, Safecasting

A community has formed around the globe of individuals who are using Berkeley Nucleonics and other Radiation Detection devices (SAM Isotope Identifier Shown) for streaming data on background radiological levels to a google map online. The updates are sent with various GPS apps from the Android Market and from the Iphone Market. Data is typically in Rem or Sieverts.

Robots Investigate Fukushima Facilities

Fukushima uses advanced Robots to climb stairs and investigate facilities. Berkeley Nucleonics has deployed hundreds of radiation detection systems for isotope identification in Asian regions. Our most common units generate radiological data coupled with GPS data and the results are available online at www.berkeleynucleonics.com

Berkeley Nucleonics - SAM 940 Isotope Identifier

Double-fisted....the technicians at Berkeley Nucleonics are testing RIIDs (radionuclide isotope identification devices) to meet a surge in demand following Fukushima. Model SAM 940 Revealer shown above with Lanthanum Bromide.

BNC Training in Japan

Berkeley Nucleonics sent a team of trainers to Japan to work with local agencies and end users in addressing some of the nuclear concerns. Berkeley manufactures the fastest room-temperature isotope identifier available, routinely identifying sources in a couple seconds with accurate results.

Japan Atomic Crisis Reaches Chernobyl Level

Japan raised the severity rating of its nuclear crisis to the highest, matching the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, after increasing radiation prompted the government to widen the evacuation zone and aftershocks rocked the country.

Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency yesterday raised the rating to 7. The accident at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant previously was rated a 5 on the global scale, the same as the 1979 partial meltdown at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania.
