Thermo Scientific RadHalo Area Monitor Series


RadHalo Overview– Born from nuclear accident management

• Customer Problems:

• Need to measure and identify radiation remotely and

automatically while generating dose rate reports

• Personnel costs and ALARA risks are high to secure an area

• Need to operate in normal conditions and extreme emergency

conditions (Fukushima) where site power and communications

are unavailable.

• RadHalo value:

• “Circle of Protection” Fixed or Portable Radiation monitor

capable of automatically identifying and reporting radiation

levels in a finite area

• Capable of operating autonomously for power and

communications.

• Rugged Design allows for transport and use in nearly any

condition


RadHalo Portable Design – Pre-Order August 2014

• Modern Technology built in

• Next Gen Lithium Hybrid car battery –60-72 hrs operation w/2 hr

recharge time

• Combined ARIS and RIIDEye ID algorithms for speed and accuracy

• Radio range up to 10km line of sight with external antennas

• Detector is spectroscopic capable

• 3x3 NaI

• Automatic ID when dose rate threshold exceeded or timed IDs

• Low and high dose GM tubes and optional Neutron detector

• Multiple failover Options: Built in LAN, WiFi, 2.4GHz, GSM or SAT

or both

• Rugged Design for Drop n’ Go capability

• Rubber bumpers, rugged handle, reinforced case, shoulder strap

• Ability to interconnect with standard COTS tripods

• IP66 rated

• Core components protected from 1m drops across full operational

temperature range (-30C to 55C)


RadHalo Portable Design (Cont.)- Pre-Order August 2014

• Detector Fusion Capable

• Able to be combined to make virtual detectors to improve

detection/location capability

• No local display – interface via wifi (mobile device) or Ethernet

(PC laptop) or ViewPoint

• Power Options

• AC Mains, Battery or solar panel

• Built in State of Health viewable from mobile device or VP

• Dose Rate range: 0.05μSv/hr to .1mSv/hr with 3x3” NaI and

0.05mSv to 10Sv/hr with dual GM tube assembly

• Gamma Detection: capable of detecting Co-57 at 6.6nSv/hr from

100cm (3.3ft) at 30.5cm/s (1ft/s)

• Neutron Detection (if equipped with CLYC): capable of detecting

1.3 neutrons/s*cm2 at 30.5cm/s (1ft/s) from 100cm (3.3ft)

• Dimensions:

• 14 inches DIA base, 26 inches tall (35cm DIA base, 66cm tall

• 35 lbs (15.9kg)


Fixed Area Monitor – Pre-Order August 2014

suited for Pole or Wall Mount

• Additional provisions for:

• GPIO (Light tower, gate release etc)

• USB (Weather station- temp, rain, wind)

• Large external antennas for extended

range

• Hard-wired connection to AC Mains

Proprietary & Confidential


Example Use Case – Argentina NPP

• Fixed RadHalo positioned around NPP

perimeter to monitor dose rate and make

regular IDs for early warning system

• Portable RadHalo available to position to

follow plume or to determine “clean”

areas for evacuation

• ID capability gives indication of process

breakdown rapid, appropriate

response

• Typically configured to provide ID

spectrum every 5-10 min.

• Data aggregated and displayed via

ViewPoint


Example Use Case - Security

• Measure dose rates near nuclear fleet

• Quickly identify problems with large detector and provide ID to distinguish leak vs

medical treatments and background changes

• Portable units can travel with ships to support emergency operations globally


Other Use Cases of RadHalo Components

• Border/perimeter security

• Linked instruments/ Detector Fusion

• Rapid deployment

• Security area monitor for public gatherings

• Plume tracking/emergency management

• Fixed area monitoring outdoor

• Fixed area monitoring indoors

• Mobile App

• Remote control of instrument

• Reachback capable

• Covert viewing of data with Map View

• Mounted to a Vehicle

• Light weight, rapid deploying monitors – Controlled via

mobile device or PC

• Scalable size based on vehicle platform

• Security Gate/Linked monitors- Mini portal

Maritime

Large Mobile
