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

The paper deals with the basic characteristics of the gamma spectrometric system designed for school experiments, with a detector based on CZT (cadmium-zinc-telluride) semiconductor crystal.

Nasa used Kromek products to measure radiation level in outer space on a journey to Mars.

The Kromek D3S gamma neutron RIID was successfully used by the Belgian Federal Police (Airport Unit) supported by the European Commission Counter Terrorism Unit of the Directorate General for Home Affairs during the NATO Summit 2018 in Brussels.

The DARPA SIGMA program began in late 2014 as an effort to create a scalable networked detection capability against radiological and nuclear threats from non-traditional, clandestine attack vectors: typically seen as either a radiological dispersal device or dirty bomb or other use of radioactive material to contaminate infrastructure or directly harm citizens.

DTU Space – Denmark’s National Space Institute - and Kromek are collaborating to develop a new generation of 3D scanners for breast cancer using advanced and very accurate cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detector technology called 3D CZT that was first developed for high energy space exploration.

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.

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

Irvine CubeSat is using Kromek GR1 detectors in space.
The Irvine CubeSat Program, powered by the Irvine Public Schools Foundation, is a STEM initiative based in Irvine, California to launch a solar-powered CubeSat. Kromek has been working with CubeSat team to find the perfect gamma spectrometer launch into orbit.

Bristol University used Kromek detectors to develop autonomous flying drones to map radioactive sites from the air.
