Berkeley Nucleonics has supplied Building Protection Systems with a radiation detection and isotope identification OEM package.
Building Protection Systems will use the package in its Building Sentry One toxin protection system to protect New York buildings against a radiological dirty bomb.
Real time isotope identification by BNC's Areasam networking detector system allows the Building Sentry One fixed installations to provide immediate detection, identification and automatic HVAC shutdown to isolate the release, protecting building occupants and buildings in New York.
The technology embedded in the SAM family of isotope identification products provides real-time ANSI N42 compliant data for regional reachback for DOE and DNDO support.
BNC has developed a mature isotope library through partnerships with several US DOE laboratories.
The library has shielded and non-shielded variations and indicates isotope categories such as medical or industrial as well as the specific isotope mix that is causing the alarm.
Berkeley Nucleonics's isotope identification algorithms quickly identify multiple sources in one to two seconds, even while moving.
The core identification technology combines a transform called QCC with time-slice and background reduction modules.
For non-technical users, the resulting data gives simple and accurate isotope identification.
For the reachback community or staff spectroscopist, the analytical data gives full MCA reports and qualitative analysis.
