Underwater radiation screening and survey can be accomplished for under $1000 with the new option for the Berkeley Nucleonics palmRAD. Part 7010, an underwater case for radiation detection is useful for marine use, rainy conditions, or routine ship cargo confirmations. The palmRAD radiation detector has a sensitive GM Tube and also detects alpha, beta and X-Ray quickly. Usual response time is less than 3 seconds and the total accumulated counts are stored. Berkeley Nucleonics recently delivered a large number of palmRAD 907s and underwater cases to a US research organization looking at survey of radiation levels in harsh environmental conditions.

IEEE Nuclear Sciences Symposium in Orlando Florida - The IEEE held it’s annual Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference last week. The community of engineers and physicists meet annually to discuss emerging technologies in the nuclear and medical electronics field. Berkeley Nucleonics demonstrated new neutron detectors and a fast Arbitrary Waveform Generator, among other flagship instruments. The show website is http://www.nss-mic.org/2009/NSSMain.asp and the show moves to Knoxville, Tennessee for 2010 http://www.nss-mic.org/2010/. The Conference Chairs were from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The DOE is traditionally a large supporter of physics research and private industry. The exhibit hours were lengthened also this year, a move to accommodate a growing community in the field and increased attendee participation over last year.
