Berkeley Nucleonics has added a versatile, benchtop power supply to it’s expanding line of general purpose test instruments. The new Power Supply offers 3 adjustable outputs with front panel or remote interfaces. The new design leverages automated manufacturing processes resulting in an unprecedented combination of performance and price. The Model 1533, selling domestically for $995.00, gives Test and R&D engineers a stable, reliable and affordable power source.
The Model 1533 features a low ripple, low noise, design ideal for applications requiring stable power regulation. We offer two tracking 25V outputs, which are together referenced to a floating common, and an isolated 6V output. For front panel control, the unit offers a bright, vacuum-florescent display that is easy to view from wide angles. The Model 1533 features a spinner knob and keypad for fast value selection or manual sweep functions.
For remote access, the Model 1533 is equipped with a USB and RS-232 interface. GPIB is also available as an option. Users may elect to save setup parameters in non-volatile RAM as well, speeding up the setup process.

ANSI Compliant Neutron Detection in Field Portable Analyzer
Berkeley Nucleonics announces the latest in detector integration with a handheld Isotope Identifier that uses a LaBr gamma detector and a 3He neutron detector. The new detector module offers ANSI N42.34 compliant neutron detection in a compact package designed for single-hand operation. What’s more, it is UN2910 exempt, so special shipping and handling documentation is not necessary.
The 3He detector module provides reliable coincidence measurements for identification of SNM materials. The size, atmospheric pressure of the gas, moderation and electronics meet UN2910 exempt levels, eliminating the timer-consuming document preparation associated with shipping larger 3He detectors under US DOT hazardous materials regulations.
Berkeley Nucleonics has delivered 3He neutron detectors in its flagship Model 935 SAM Isotope Identifiers since 1997. This 3He detector module for the Model 940 SAM Defender, brings added convenience and capability to radionuclide isotope identification.
“We’ve made exciting advances in the 3HE module”, comments David Brown, Company President. “We chose the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium as an appropriate venue to introduce the innovative package.”
The company is unveiling the new add-on detector module at the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium in Orlando, Florida. The 3He detector is sold as an option to the Model 940 for neutron detection. The detector also includes several options for gamma detection. With gamma and neutron detection, user have the ability to look for materials based on the coincidence of both emissions. Applications also branch into field study, safeguards inspections and treaty compliance. Inspectors are often equipped with numerous devices, so combining a gamma and neutron detector in one handheld system potentially eliminates the need for additional stand-alone detectors.
