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.

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.

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.
