GROUNDHOG V

System is designed for the detection of particles of radioactive material typically the size of a grain of sand or smaller. With five large NaI (Tl) detectors arranged to survey a 2 metre strip in each sweep. Detection of Cs-137 particles typically 10³-10⁵ Bq in the top 100-200mm of sand. Synergy as above but also equipped with eight Insight detectors to improve the efficiency of Am-241 typically to levels of 10⁴-10⁵ Bq in the surface layer of sand.

Systems are fitted with advanced ‘alarm’ mechanisms allowing particles to be removed as detected. Groundhog surveys also support remediation strategies based on in-situ selective sentencing of waste. Survey results can be ‘turned around’ in less than an hour.
