Alpha ray area dosimeter PAM-100

Beta rayGamma ray

Short description
The PAM-100 series are portable handheld instruments for surface activity measurement of alpha, beta and gamma emitting radionuclides. They provide fast, repeatable screening of surface contamination for industrial and nuclear applications.

Applications

• Nuclear facilities and power plants
• Waste management and decommissioning
• Ionizing radiation metrology
• Nuclear medicine departments
• Non‑nuclear industry contamination control
• Homeland security and emergency response

Key Features

• Gasless scintillation detector for alpha/beta detection
• Compact, lightweight and durable handheld design
• User‑friendly interface with fast preset selection
• High sensitivity with uniform response over the detection area
• Two user‑settable alarm levels
• Quick replacement of light‑tight foil
• Optional ambient dose rate measurement

Description
The PAM-100 series activity meters are designed for rapid on‑site assessment of surface contamination. Models A, B and C feature suppressed gamma sensitivity to distinguish alpha and/or beta contamination; models B and C are adapted for environments with elevated or variable gamma background such as nuclear power plants. Models D and E provide increased gamma sensitivity when required.
