Berkeley Nucleonics (BNC), a manufacturer of radiation detectors, isotope identifiers and test and measurement instrumentation, will provide an opportunity for end users to discuss new applications and product needs at the Annual Health Physics Society meeting in Salt Lke City, Utah, from June 27 – July 1, 2010. The HPS community has long been an industry leader in organizations that address radiation detection and radiation safety in industrial, medical and environmental capacity. The company will conduct multiple demonstrations of new GPS based isotope identification and remediation tools. The radiation detectors with GPS capability can be used for a variety of applications ranging from perimeter set up to routine compliance confirmation.
Berkeley Nucleonics will also offer a series of radiation detection and isotope identification courses in Salt Lake City in June for participants seeking a deeper understanding of the principles of isotopic characterization and neutron coincidence analysis. Courses include time in instrumentation, theory and exercises. The accredited courses by Berkeley Nucleonics offer CEU units from the DoD and many State organizations. Contact BNC for details. We are happy to talk with you at 800-234-7858.

Berkeley Nucleonics is excited to participate in the 42nd Annual National Conference or Radiation Control in Newport, Rhode Island. We will demonstrate the latest in field isotope identification and GPS-assisted development of radiological mapping. Our newest instrument offers sub-meter GPS resolution and 3% spectral resolution. Count rates are quickly logged for accurate remediation planning. The conference offers an opportunity for users of Berkeley’s radiation detection instruments to discuss emerging needs in current and upcoming applications.
The CRCPD’s mission is “to promote consistency in addressing and resolving radiation protection issues, to encourage high standards of quality in radiation protection programs, and to provide leadership in radiation safety and education.”

The most precise pulse generator on the market, the Model PB-5 NIM Pulser, is manufactured by Berkeley Nucleonics. The Model PB-5 offers 5 ppb stability over temperature changes, allowing end users to test the linearity and stability of the most demanding circuits. The company has developed a new front end utility, called PB-5 WinControl, which expands the functionality and test options for the laboratory user. Control up to 8 pulse generators at the same time to synchronize outputs or test multiple systems.
Nuclear circuits such as Pulse Height Analyzers (PHA) and Multi-Channel Analyzers (MCA) require a stable pulse generator to simulate a wide range of test conditions. However, the linearity specification is limited by the fluctuations in the amplitude domain by the pulse generator. With the ability to store and recall numerous settings in a computer, the test process is expedited.
“Testing applications often require a variety of setups. With the PB-5 WinControl, we can develop a complete set of tests and store them locally. The test is repeatable and efficient, without the need for front panel manipulation.”, remarks John Yee, Application Manager and Design Engineer.
PB-5 WinControl is written with a simple GUI to allow for a variety of commonly used numerical notations. The status of multiple units may be viewed in the same application window. The software is compatible with user scripts.

New position paper on dosimetry for the first responder, simplifies the requirements published by the NRC. Berkeley Nucleonics offers the Models 1621, 1703 and 907 palmRAD radiation pagers to help address these needs. First responders need Radiation Detectors such as PRDs and RIIDs for fast and accurate radiation level detection, identification of sources, and setting up response protocols. Our devices are ANSI compliant and provide N42.42 data for US DOE and DNDO reachback. Radiation Detection Pagers (Rad Pagers) are in stock for fast delivery.
