The Challenge
Why Current Solutions Fall Short
Neutrons can dominate the total radiation dose received by workers, patients, and the public. Modern facilities demand detection capabilities that current commercial solutions for ambient neutron dosimetry were not designed to fully address.
· Poor response for high neutron energies (>20 MeV)
· Not suited for pulsed or quasi-continuous neutron fields
· Limited portability:9-18 kg per unit
· Outdated design:sensors from the 60s, electronics from the 90s
