New Isotope Identifier Operating System - Eagle OS 3. 8. 5

Berkeley Nucleonics, a California scientific instrumentation manufacturer, has officially released Eagle 3.8.5, a powerful update to it’s Isotope Identification Algorithms and Handheld Instrumentation Operating system.

New features in the OS, which can be field updated, address common requirements from users across different disciplines. Workers in radiation safety, health physics or emergency response are all benefitting from features such as:

-          Enhanced “Review Spectra” capabilities

-          Customizable Trigger Lists (CTL)  can be created by the user on a PC with factory assistance.

-          Food Contamination Measurements - users gain the ability to quantify radiation contamination in the field along with their real time radionuclide identification.

With the latest release of the Eagle Operating System 3.8.5, BNC provides users of the SAM 940 with a quick review feature to display the most recent spectra(s) captured at the push of a button.  Another handy feature is to review only the most recent 10 Spectra.

Customized Trigger Lists (CTL) allow users to set up instrumentation for application specific activities. Because the SAM isotope identifiers serve a cross section of user fields, we have added CTLs so users can narrow down the windows of isotopes of interest. An inspector may have a very different mission requirement than a hospital Radiation Safety Officer. CTLs enable quick program management and simplify the end-user tasks.

The Food Contamination Measurement feature enables users to make readings, presumably in a known geometry, and then convert the radiation levels into contamination in Becquerel / Kilogram. A computer is not required and the data need not be transferred off of the SAM 940 Isotope Identifier.

New Feature - Review Recent Spectra

                Quickly refer to your ten most recently acquired Spectrum Reports

Starts with the most recent, then press Previous to review the next most recent spectra in descending order.

New Feature – Custom Trigger List / Custom Nuclide Library

The default trigger list is the ANSI list, but a new “User” trigger list can be selected in the Field Settings menu, and this “User” list can be easily edited by using PC with a CF card reader.

New Feature – Food Contamination Measurements

Measure radiation activity in food, water, and soil samples.  Menu driven instructions to easily perform the necessary Efficiency Calibrations for making these specific measurements.

Trace Radiation Levels from Japan detected by U.S. EPA RadNet System—

Albuquerque, New Mexico. April 1, 2011. During the past three years, EDi has maintained the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) RadNet system, which consists of more than 100 radiation-monitoring stations throughout the United States. Lately, these monitoring stations track and record the released radiation from the Fukushima Daichii Nuclear Power Plant severely damaged during the earthquake and tsunami that recently devastated Japan on March 11, 2011.
The RadNet Program, initially established to monitor radiation associated with nuclear weapons testing, was later expanded to include radiation levels during emergencies. For more than 30 years, RadNet has developed an important environmental radiation database used by the EPA and other federal agencies.
The RadNet mission is to monitor environmental radioactivity in the United States providing high quality data for assessing public exposure and environmental impacts resulting from nuclear emergencies and to provide baseline data during routine conditions. RadNet has three (3) specific objectives:

1. Provide data for nuclear emergency response assessments;
2. Provide data on ambient levels of radiation in the environment for baseline and trend analysis; and
3. Inform the general public and public officials.
EDi performs a variety of calibration, repair, and technical support services for the monitoring devices—both on site and at our San Antonio, TX service facility. Services include maintenance of the central processing unit (CPU), all telemetry and weather-monitoring subsystems, and sensors.

About EDi

Headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, EDi is a Small Business Administration (SBA) certified woman- and minority-owned small disadvantaged business entity with a strong reputation for providing quality technical environmental services. Recognized as an industry leader, EDi specializes in the detection, identification, characterization, and decontamination of hazardous and radioactive environments.

AVA SUSPENDS IMPORT OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FROM KANTO REGION IN JAPAN
Detection of radioactive contaminants in another two samples of vegetables from Japan
Radioactive contaminants have been detected in another two samples of vegetables from Japan. The contaminated samples were imported from the prefectures of Kanagawa and Tokyo. In addition, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare had reported the detection of high radioactivity levels in some vegetables from Saitama.
2. In view of the latest developments, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) will extend its suspension on the import of fruits and vegetables to include the prefectures of Kanagawa, Tokyo and Saitama. This means the entire Kanto Region of Japan is now suspended from exporting fruits and vegetables to Singapore as AVA had earlier suspended the Kanto prefectures of Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma and Chiba.
Status of suspension of Japan food imports
3. The status of our suspension of food imports from Japan as at 26 Mar 2011 is as follows:

Berkeley Nucleonics Featured in New York Times Article

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/22/business/22geiger.html?_r=2

Article Excerpt :

Many people buying the devices say they are worried about their food becoming contaminated. One customer, Mr. Flanegin said, was a theme park in Japan that wanted to check its food supplies as a precaution for its visitors.

Radiation detectors come as hand-held devices, wrist watches and pager-size gadgets that hang from the belt. Their cost varies from $150 for a self-assembled kit to $4,000 for a more sophisticated version that stores radiation readings along with the GPS coordinates of where those readings were taken.

Technically, Geiger counters are just one type of radiation detector. But many people use the term to describe all radiation detection equipment.

Law enforcement, fire departments, military, hospitals, scientific laboratories, schools and prospectors are the typical customers. Federal government agencies seem to be well enough stocked that they are not scrambling to buy more, according to the sellers interviewed.

Usually, the general public, other than a small group of hobbyists, has little interest in radiation.

But that changed after a devastating earthquake and tsunami set off Japan’s nuclear troubles. Demand for radiation detectors, along with potassium iodide pills, which can help prevent radiation-induced thyroid cancer, quickly outstripped supplies and the limited capacity to produce more.

Skepticism that the government will be forthcoming about radiation levels is driving some of the sales, said John Iovine, president of Images SI, a company in Staten Island that makes and sells Geiger counters and other scientific instruments.

“I never really felt it until people started calling up,” he said. “They want their own Geiger counter to check up.” Radiation levels in the United States remain within the normal range, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, which has a network of monitors across the country. Updates are available on the E.P.A.’s Web site.

During a typical week, Mr. Iovine says, he may get an order for 20 Geiger counters from a local government followed by several weeks without any additional sales. But in the week after the Japan earthquake, he said he received close to 200 orders and was now sold out. Customers are now warned that it will take six to eight weeks to fill any orders.

Still, buying a radiation detector is just the first step, Mr. Iovine said. Owners of the devices need to discern between dangerous radiation levels and a normal background reading.

“To use it is very simple,” Mr. Iovine said. “To interpret the results gets a little more difficult.”

Naturally occurring radiation varies depending on factors like local geology and altitude. People are exposed to additional radiation when they get an X-ray or fly in an airplane.

Robert Corsetti, director of sales and marketing for Berkeley Nucleonics, which makes and sells industrial-grade radiation detection equipment, said that calls to his company, which is based in San Rafael, Calif., increased up to 15 times the normal level after the problems started in Japan. In some cases, people are simply calling to ask if they are at risk, and not to buy something.

“We send out PowerPoints that dispel rumors,” Mr. Corsetti said. “I send the e-mail 20 times a day.” In one case, he said, an airline pilot who regularly flies to Tokyo wanted a detector to determine if he was being exposed to more radiation than usual. NBC News crew members in Japan are using radiation detectors from Berkeley Nucleonics that they can wear on their belts, much like beepers. The devices sound an alarm when they detect excessive radiation and when the dose exceeds a specified level over time.

In addition to the detectors, NBC News personnel are equipped with protective masks and suits, along with access to potassium iodide pills.

Shipment of Radiation Detectors to Mizuno Pharmacy, Tokyo Japan.

Shipment of Radiation Detectors to Mizuno Pharmacy, Tokyo Japan.

Berkeley Nucleonics shipped PRD units to Mizuno Pharmacy in Tokyo today in an effort to advise patients and clinical staff about fallout concerns after a reactor incident at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. The PRD from Berkeley Nucleonics measures dose rates, counts per second and accumulated dose, making it useful for a wide range of applications.

“The service I received from Berkeley Nucleonics has been exception in these trying times,” commented Barbara Chang in a telephone discussion.

Radiopharmaceutical companies are one of many industries with routine exposure to medical and industrial nuclear radiation. Radio Isotopes are used in a wide range of industries and occur in many natural forms as well. Such benign articles as ceramics or kitty litter carry small levels or radiation. Patients who receive medical treatments, often with Iodine-131, are also subject to radiation concerns. The PRDs and a broader family of detector systems provide instant results and characterization of the ionizing radiation. Previous TLD systems absorbed dose over long periods of time but required special readers or 3rd party service providers to inform the holder of actual exposures. The company has ramped up production and is planning additional shipments of PRDs and Isotope Identifiers to Japan I the coming weeks.
