The HPRID is a hand-held, portable, rugged and highly accurate radioisotope detector and identifier utilizing Symetrica’s Discovery™ technology, licensed exclusively to Smiths Detection. Discovery technology features advanced spectrum processing and identification algorithms which transform a highly sensitive 2” x 2” Sodium Iodide [NaI(Tl)]detector into a high resolution spectrometer capable of identifying challenging isotopes. With these advanced algorithms, effective resolution is increased at 662 keV from 7% to 2% FWHM.

 

The identification performance exceeds all ANSI N42.34 requirements for bare, shielded and multiple isotopes. The on-board library comes standard with 39 radioisotopes classified and can be easily expanded.

 

The HPRID is easy to use while supplying the operator with simple, specific information for threat assessment. Applications include Customs inspection, border protection, radiological facilities/personnel monitoring, and emergency response

 

Cargo Inspection
The HPRID can be used in ‘survey’ mode to detect radioactive sources and then clearly identify whether the energy signature corresponds to harmless naturally occurring radiation or a more dangerous source, such as special nuclear materials or those consistent with a “dirty bomb”. For each source identified, the HPRID provides the identification, confidence level of the identification made, and a risk assessment describing the source as innocent, suspicious or a threat.

 

Emergency Response
In an emergency situation, radiological response teams can quickly and accurately determine whether or not a source is present and the threat level in order to take appropriate actions. The wireless capability can provide those in a remote Command Center access to information such as the threat identified, source spectra and location.
