RADHAND 600 PRO
New
Spectroscopic Radiation Measurement and UHF RFID Tagging Handheld
Features
- State-of-the-art algorithms allow top performance on nuclide identification and dose-rate measurements
- Fully wireless connectivity for hands-free operation
- 8 hr operation on battery
- Multiple Units may be linked to develop a network of sensors
- Integrated GPS for geo-localization and timing information (customizable in-door applications)
- Locally encrypted data may be saved on-board or transmitted to a secure remote database
- Supports integration of external application-specific probes such as alpha/beta contaminameters, neutron detectors, and high-resolution CdZnTe gamma spectrometers
Overview
RadHAND 600 PRO is the world’s first hand-held instrument designed to perform both spectroscopic radiation measurements and UHF RFID tagging of nuclear waste material and objects.
RadHAND is a novel handheld instrument able to combine, for the first time, state-of-the-art spectroscopic radiation measurements with scintillation detectors and UHF RFID technology for easy tracking of the measured items. RadHAND 600 PRO helps the operator to fully characterize and track objects, surfaces, radioactive waste and any type of item that could be produced and measured in Decommissioning & Dismantling activities or in a Nuclear Power Plant environment.
Being part of the CAENSYS DigiWaste platform, the device inserts measured data and sample information into a central database and, simultaneously, writes the main information in the memory of selected rad-tolerant RFID tags that are part of the CAENSYS RadRFID family. Operators can access the central management database both locally with CAENSYS RadREAD devices and remotely via dedicated web service at any time.
A suite of additional external probes able to be controlled by RadHAND 600 PRO via USB will also be available.
