Frequently Asked Questions
What is a radionuclide identification device (RID)?
A Radionuclide Identification Device is a portable spectroscopic tool that detects and identifies specific radioactive isotopes based on their gamma or neutron signatures.
How quickly do they identify radioactive sources?
Most Radionuclide Identification Devices provide real-time feedback and identify isotopes within seconds, enabling quick, informed responses.
Can Radionuclide Identification Devices detect both gamma and neutron radiation?
Yes. While some detect gamma radiation only, others include neutron detection to identify special nuclear materials.
Do they work in harsh environments?
Yes. Many devices are ruggedised and rated for outdoor, maritime, and high-temperature or high-humidity conditions.
