[ RadSafe ] Fwd: instrumentation???

[Irian Komar]

Exploranium never developed any hand held or mobile radiation detectors
based on plastic. All of the portable instruments we developed were based on
NaI(Tl) detectors. We did use the PVT detectors in the Portal monitors.

Sorry Ted..I guess you must have some details wrong. We did develop some
great instruments. As Jeff pointed out the GR-135 is still in production.

Cheers...

Yes, Irian is the guy.

My division of SAIC was the one that had Exploranium.  There was then a long
sequence of events, among them we changed our name to Leidos (long story...
that I'm sure makes sense to someone).  We still have the GR-135 line of
products.

Ted

I recommend that you email Irian Komar, at Radiation Monitor Services in
Toronto.  He's a former Exploranium engineer, who now keeps their legacy
instruments (as well as other survey meters) running.

galaxy, Exploranium made a survey meter with a 5 inch plastic scintillator
probe.  It seemed very interesting at the time - but of course pricey.  Its
the sort of instrument that might detect things you don't really need to
find HOWEVER it could find things you want to find from a much further
distance or faster.
Anyhow - I was looking to see if it (or anything similar) still exists and
found that Exploranium seems to have been bought out (and mostly buried) by
SAIC and I can't find any such instrument from anyone.
