Nu Scientific - Personal Dosimeter and Radiation Measuring Equipment and Devices

Nu Scientific is the Australian, New Zealand and Fijian distributor for Canberra Industries. Canberra has solutions in many areas such as health physics applications.

Nu Scientific provides an extensive array of portable and hand-held survey devices, designed to quickly and accurately measure dose rate, while simplifying operation and broadening the application of a single device. Augmenting these lines are unique, electronic personal dosimeter products providing dose assessments for the individual worker.

Canberra Industries also supplies MCAs, detectors, NIM electronics, hand and foot monitors, friskers and all types of radiation monitoring equipment.

Personal Dosimeters - the Dosicard

Dosicard is an electronic personal dosimeter in a credit-card format. It is the key element in a unique, modular dosimeter system that can be adapted to your individual needs. The Dosicard can be used as a stand-alone personal dosimeter; in a small nuclear and medical laboratory with only a few people, or in nuclear research centres, accelerators, nuclear power plants etc.

Radiation Monitoring Equipment

The Radiagem™ 2000 radiation monitor features excellent ergonomics such as easy handling, large custom LCD display, semi-log barograph, average digital reading, with visual and audible alarms plus data logging.

The Radiagem™ 2000 measures H*(10) ambient dose equivalent with rates from 0.3μSv/h to 100mSv/h. Radiagem™ 2000’s external smart probes extend the capabilities of the instrument to a range of general surveying applications.

In the "smart" design, key components of hardware circuitry (high voltage, amplifier, discriminator, etc.) are located directly inside of the probe-housing rather than the host survey instrument.

Also, the intelligence associated with controlling those components is located in the probe, including control and storage of key parameters, settings, calibrations, probe ID, alarm settings, etc. The probe is a fully integrated sub-system taking and transmitting the measurement for the instrument to display.

Our growing CSP™ family of radiation monitoring products bring flexibility to all surveying applications. We have a range of gamma, beta and alpha smart probes that offer the latest technology, excellent efficiency and sensitivity, as well as flexibility.

Portable Gamma and X-ray Doserate Meter / Dosimeter

The Babyline 81 is a linear response dose rate meter / dosimeter for measuring the dose rate and the absorbed dose in human tissues (under 0.007g/cm² or 0.3g/cm²) for an irradiation by incident or scattered photons in the 8keV to 10MeV energy range and occasionally, by electrons.

Measurement of the absorbed dose rate is in six ranges: from 10μGy/h to

1,000mGy/h, and of the absorbed dose in five ranges: from 10μGy to 100mGy. Other features include:

• 515cm³ air ionization chamber with 7mg/cm² tissue equivalent wall and 300mg/cm² removable cap

• Uniform response from 8keV to 2MeV

Hand, Foot and Portal Monitors

Canberra Industries make a range of hand and foot monitors as well as portal monitors such as the mini sentry. The MiniSentry is a gamma-sensitive portal monitor designed to be quickly set up and operated with very little training or expertise in radiation detection technology. This portable system is used to quickly provide a gamma scan of pedestrians or vehicles for radiation in control or emergency situations.

InSpector 1000 Portable MCA

The InSpector 1000 is an instrument that provides answers not just data. This full featured hand-held MCA corrects for temperature drift and auto calibrates without radioactive sources. It features dose rate and count rate display and bar graph, real-time isotope identification with activity and dose by isotope calculation, and full-screen spectral display on a large touch screen.
