HIROCS
RADIOACTIVE OBJECT CHARACTERIZATION
HIROCS™ is an industrial grade detector system based on latest CZT semiconductor technology offering portable and efficient gamma spectrometry.
The system combines high resolution spectrometry and Compton imaging for identification and localization of radioactive sources. HIROCS represents a versatile and deployable advanced solution for environmental radiation surveys, waste drums, pipes and other components assays, and nuclear safeguards applications.
APPLICATIONS
- Environmental Radiation Surveys: Quick in-situ assessment of radiation in natural, industrial, and reactor environments. HIROCS™ enables real-time radionuclide identification and hotspots visualization without sample collection or laboratory analysis.
- Waste Drums, Pipes & Components Assay: Accurate localization and activity estimation of radionuclides in waste drums, pipes, and other components. Object-based source modelling combined with collimation allows reliable waste characterization.
- Decommissioning & Decontamination Measurements: Detection and discrimination of low-level contamination in complex geometries during facility decommissioning. Optimized shielding and high energy resolution enable to achieve low-level MDA measurements.
- Nuclear Safeguards & Regulatory Inspections: Portable solution for verification measurements, source localization, and isotopic identification during safeguards inspections. Real-time Compton imaging enhances situational awareness in high-background environments.
