These customers used a heavily shielded GR1 to measure the radioactivity levels in a building at the Fukushima Daiichi power station

Replacing an expensive germanium-based detector with a Kromek GR1 room temperature CZT-based gamma spectrometer for radionuclidic purity tests of PET radiopharmaceuticals.

This client used thirty-six Kromek GR1s in a 12 by 3 array to analyse the radiation levels and gamma isotopes in spent nuclear fuel.

EDF Energy required a system that offered high-performance radiation detection capabilities that provided fast and accurate measurement of potentially mixed sources of radiation in real-time while being small and robust enough to be easily transported and used in-field.

Using GR1 gamma spectrometer to find the gamma-ray spectrum of smear papers from a reactor building in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant

Using a Kromek GR1 for nondestructive activation assessment of a cyclotron bunker. During the operational life of a PET Cyclotron, the concrete walls of the cyclotron vault are activated by the secondary neutron flux interacting with rare earths and metals present in the concrete or in reinforcement bars. For this reason, when considering the dismantling of such accelerators, the amount of radioactive waste has to be evaluated in advance.

These researchers used a Kromek GR1 to measure isotope levels in deeply contaminated soil in the Fukushima region following the breakdown of the nuclear reactor.

Using a Kromek GR1 CZT-based gamma spectrometer to map the levels of radioactive contamination in the Fukushima area of Japan.

A radiation detector on Mount Everest. Mapping the changing cosmic ray background on the way to Everest Base Camp using a Kromek GR1.

Mirion Technologies is using Kromek detectors to build new products to test reactor fluid in nuclear power plants.
