Dosimeter SaphyGATE GN

Gamma rayneutron rays

Developed in partnership with the French Alternative Energies & Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), the SaphyGATE GN is a new-generation portal monitor capable of detecting Gamma-Neutron radiations from a radioactive material without using Helium-3 detectors. Compliant with international border security standards (IEC 62244 & ANSI N42.35), it efficiently prevents illicit movements of radioactive sources in port areas, airports, land borders or any other critical infrastructure, by carrying out a non-invasive inspection of people and loads. It is thus particularly adapted to homeland security, border control, and event protection such as major sport events, public gatherings, international summits, etc. Able to detect both natural and artificial radioactive sources of very low activity (approximately 10 kBq.), it also discriminates Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) along with Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM), hence allowing operators to better evaluate a threat’s hazardousness. The SaphyGATE GN algorithm also features a function that compensates the Gamma background attenuation resulting from the mass of the vehicle and its load, thus offering better performances, in particular for the detection of sealed radioactive sources. As a versatile and modular device, the SaphyGATE GN can be adapted to the load control of heavy vehicles and containers, as well as the inspection of light vehicles, pedestrians and luggage. It can be equipped with detectors with standard sensitivity (4 scintillators) or high sensitivity (8 scintillators).
