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.

This client is using their RadAngel CZT gamma spectrometer to check soil samples taken from areas around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor contamination zone
