Exploranium has developed a technologically
advanced nuclide identification system “multi-level nuclide I.D.” that uses advanced
deconvolution peak techniques and interference
correction techniques
Optimized for all common nuclides and Special
Nuclear Materials (SNM)
i.e. Uranium-235, Plutonium
Optimized for shielded sources
1024 channel operation
Automatic detector selection:
Sodium Iodide vs Cadmium Zinc Telluride
Automatic gain correction
Clearly displays Type and Isotope

Nuclide Libraries
•
•
•
GR-135
Nuclide libraries target most common nuclides for
Special Nuclear Materials, Industrial and Medical
applications
5 different pre-defined nuclide libraries are available.
The desired library is activated through the manual menu
selection:
– STANDARD: Customs / Security / Police / Military...
– Medical
– Industrial
– Waste Management
Special Customizable
For maximum system performance, Exploranium will
customize special libraries for the user (by e-mail)
which can be downloaded using the indentiVIEW software
provided via PC and docking station
