FLIR has announced the FLIR identiFINDER R200-GN spectroscopic personal radiation detector (SPRD), the latest addition to its identiFINDER R200-Series handheld radiation security solutions. The rugged, pager-sized FLIR identiFINDER R200-GN SPRD is designed to detect and identify neutrons, in addition to gamma radiation, allowing front-line responders to quickly determine whether there is a true radiation threat for safe, informed decision making.
Since neutrons penetrate material and travel distances greater than any other form of radiation, the FLIR identiFINDER R200-GN with neutron identification is an important early warning system for the detection of malicious material and an additional safety feature for responders, according to the company.
