Purpose of the development: Detection of unauthorized transportation of nuclear and hazardous materials plutonium. Facilitating the activities of customs services and the processing of scrap metal items. Creating a source detection device gamma photons to work in extreme conditions and in conditions that require quick decisions.

Recommended application field: - radioecology; - metallurgy; - study the distribution of the flux of gamma photons in the near-Earth space with the spacecraft board; - equipping of border crossings in order to detect the smuggling of radioactive materials, and precious metals.

Technical characteristic: - energy range of 40 keV - 1.5 MeV; - duration of continuous operation on batteries, "Crone" - 600 hours; - the time required to detect a 68% certainty excess flow above the 137Cs photons creates a dose rate of 0.5 mSv / h (50 mR / hr.) ~ 1 sec;. - mass detector ~ 0.30 kg; - diameter ~ 45 mm; - height ~ 185 mm.

Advantages over analogues: A stand-alone high-efficiency high-voltage stabilized power supply, which is located directly on the connector of the photomultiplier, and is powered by a small-sized batteries "Crown". An original signal processing system of the photomultiplier.

The development stage readiness: tested in laboratory condition
