The Mirion
Technologies Health Physics Division announced it has delivered SPIR
Detect area radiation monitors to the Italian Civil Defense
Authority. These highly sensitive monitors are easy to deploy and can be
installed permanently in a location or used as portable radiological
monitors.
“We are honored to have been selected to provide the Italian Civil
Defense Authority with these flexible area radiation monitors”
The SPIR Detect, from Mirion’s MGP Instruments product line, is a new
concept for site or critical infrastructure protection against
radiological threats. Mirion’s SPIR Detect is based on a network of
sensitive gamma/neutron detectors that can be deployed in either a
mobile or fixed environment. These monitors provide a discrete and
centralized survey of access points, making them ideal for use in
airports, railway stations, or special events.
“We are honored to have been selected to provide the Italian Civil
Defense Authority with these flexible area radiation monitors,” said
Antony Besso, President of Mirion’s Health Physics Division. “We are
committed to providing the civil defense industry with new solutions
that assist with detection and identification of radioactive materials.”
