BNC - An Introduction to Nuclear Scintillator Detectors

Digital Training Program - An Introduction to Nuclear Scintillator Detectors Berkeley Nucleonics, an authority in the nuclear science community, is offering an educational introduction to Nuclear Scintillation Detectors in an online training module. Scintillation detectors are woven into the fabric of many nuclear applications. From medicine to industrial process controls to power, the nuclear community is increasingly addressing world concerns. As a member of this technical community for 50 years, we offer valuable perspectives and hands-on expertise to engineers just getting started. Our web-based general introduction course should serve as a springboard for deeper exploration in more granular fields.

The web-based course takes 4 hours and touches on many aspects of nuclear materials, from the components of a PMT to temperature effects on crystals. This introductory course will begin to familiarize students with common terminology (anode, photocathode, PMT, isotope identification, peak resolution, photodiode, etc) and offer students the flexibility to complete it on their own schedule. As the nuclear sciences grow in popularity and applications, an entry level introduction course is a handy prerequisite to classroom or workshop discussions. The course is made available to instructors digitally as well to address any hosting requirements. Radiation detector training is also valuable to Hazmat professionals or Fire Fighters who seek a deeper understanding of the components in nuclear detection and isotope identification. “BNC supports a wide range of customers varying from operational field needs to demanding research programs. We integrate those experiences into our widely acclaimed hands on training programs. This web module is our natural extension, allowing users to train when most convenient for them”, remarked Robert Corsetti, the company’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “The interactive nature of the training is really interesting also.”

BNC Celebrates 25 Year Partnership with PT Systems

Berkeley Nucleonics (BNC) President David Brown visited one of it's California contract manufacturing firms last week to celebrate 25 years of cooperation. PT Systems Inc (Concord, CA) is a select manufacturer for Berkeley Nucleonics, manufacturing BNC designs in Test, Measurement and Nuclear Research. "Using local manufacturing allows us to easily interface on design, specifications and mechanical issues", comments Brown.

New Microwave RF Signal Generator

Berkeley Nucleonics Sets Industry Benchmark With Introduction Of New Microwave Signal Generator / Rf Signal Generator Frequency Sources Berkeley Nucleonics commercially releases a full line of high performance, robust, and extremely cost effective Microwave / RF signal generators. This Microwave / RF product line sets a new standard in performance to cost. Capable of producing in excess of 20GHz, with very low phase noise, fast switching speeds, extensive modulation capabilities in a variety of packaging options, including benchtop, portable battery operation, 1U 19” rackmount, and card-level for OEM integration. These instruments offer the widest array of options to meet almost any application requirement.

Modern design techniques and component breakthroughs allow Berkeley Nucleonics to combine improved flexibility in features with and budget-stretching price points. “We are very excited to bring these new Microwave Source solutions to our customers”, states David Brown, President of Berkeley Nucleonics. “We are addressing the requirements for faster switching speeds in modulation and sweep routines with this product. The demands of today’s R&D engineers in applications like cellular, satellite and communications are rigorous. It is a timely product as we celebrate 50 years of signal generator manufacturing for the scientific community.”
