Detection and Identication - Risks Prevention

SPIR-IDENT VEHICLE GN

Advanced Spectroscopic Monitor

The SPIR-IDENT VEHICLE GN is a combined gamma

and neutron spectrometric portal monitor. It is the

most advanced detector of the SPIR family and a

new concept for site and critical infrastructure

protection against radiological threats, such as

intrusion of special nuclear materials (SNM) or radio-

logical dispersion devices (RDD).

The SPIR-IDENT VEHICLE GN is able to solve the

major limitation of current systems by automati-

cally sorting innocent alarms from actual alarms

in real-time, without compromising the detection

performances of actual SNM, RDD or unexpected

radioactive sources.

FEATURES

Identication of gamma sources and Special Nuclear

Materials in vehicles and containers.

● Cost effective secondary screening solution

● Automated log with spectrum and image capture

● Large Volume NaI Gamma and Neutron detectors

● Flexible congurations: single or double sided, single

or double height

● Masked and shielded SNM and RDD identication

● NORM and in vivo medical source rejection

● Simplied operation with full camera support

● «Easy» display mode and advanced mode

The SPIR-IDENT VEHICLE GN Portal is intended for

secondary screening as a complement to plastic

scintillation-based detection portals.

The SPIR-IDENT VEHICLE GN provides a cost and

performance effective solution and an alternative to

dynamic Advanced Spectroscopic Portals (ASP’s)

for vehicle and containers.
