MIRA Portable Gamma Monitoring Station
|
The MIRA Gamma Dose Rate Detector can be used in various applications for quick set-up in the field.
A MIRA Gamma Detector with the optional GPRS/LTE, or satellite communication interface for wireless communication can be used as mobile Monitoring Station, which needs no external power or communication infrastructure. For fixed outdoor installation the MIRA Gamma detector can be simply fixed to a pole or wall using the brackets and can be used as a Gamma Monitoring Station. The MIRA system bases on Geiger Muller detectors for ambient gamma dose rate measurements. To cover the full measurement range from 10 nSv/h to 10 Sv/h two detectors are needed. The lower part of the detector is used for the electronic like processor unit, SD card, radio module, GPS, satellite and GPRS/LTE. In addition the MIRA probe can be combined with Weather Station and transmit the radiation data and weather data in one data communication. | ||||
SARA – SPECTROSCOPIC GAMMA DETECTOR |
The self-contained spectroscopic in-situ gamma detector is designed to measure and analyze online and continuously the gamma spectra under environmental conditions. SARA is able to detect even minor changes of the composition of the nuclear spectra in the environment.
This improves significantly the recognition of nuclide isotopes, which is very important for the radiation early warning system.
The SARA supports the quick detection of radiation but it also identifies the nuclear isotopes. The SARA unit is designed for outdoor use even in harsh environments and for continuous operation without any maintenance. Hermetically sealed detector unit guarantees optimal protection for the detector and the electronics against environmental conditions.
The optional detection crystals NaI(Tl), CeBr3 or LaBr3(Ce)-based scintillation detector together with the MCA (multi-channel analyzer) provide high energy resolution under ambient temperature operation conditions.
The standardized ANSI N42.42 protocol enables the use of many spectra evaluation software programs. SARA measures the total and nuclide specific gamma dose rate in units of the ambient dose equivalent rate H*(10).
For an extended gamma dose rate range an additional Geiger-Müller-detector (GM) or a high dose rate spectrometer can be integrated as option.

SME Associates is flexible in design and provides alternatives to standard systems. Having flexibility in the design and minimize potential down time at critical moments defines a good designed system vs spending monies and not receiving the expected ROI.
Gross Monitoring vs Nuclide Specific Gamma Particulate/Iodine Air Monitor
Both monitors provide information that provide input into the Protection Action Guideness (PAGs). The Nuclide Specific can provide details of which nuclides are being detected. However the ongoing costs to maintain the system and calibration costs need to be included vs gross gamma monitoring. Air samples are required which can provide nuclide specific data in reviewing the fallout containmation levels in a given area.
