Solid X-ray and Gamma Radioactive Sources

Solid X-ray and Gamma Radioactive Sources

Ensure the long-term performance of your ambient radiation monitors with solid X-ray and Gamma sources for custom radioactive capsules, easily integrated into your systems.

    • Maintain reliable performance of ambient radiation monitors in areas with potential external exposure
    • Perform regular and accurate calibrations despite the diversity of control equipment and radionuclides
    • Simplify source integration with mechanically adapted designs
    • Benefit from expert support to meet specific technical or regulatory requirements
    • Deploy different geometries like capsule-type radioactive sources specifically engineered for ambient radiation monitors (CIEP, CCAG, etc.), featuring integrated threading to allow easy mounting and removal, even under operational conditions.
    • Fully customize the source to match your exact requirements: activity, geometry, matrix, and packaging are defined to ensure seamless compatibility with your equipment and long-term stability of the detection system.
    • Rely on personalized support throughout the process: technical feasibility assessments, uncertainty calculations, regulatory compliance checks (ASNR licensing scope), and optional COFRAC* calibration certificates.
    • Reduce development time and costs by leveraging our extensive catalog of existing models, which can be adapted to your specifications without starting from scratch.
    • Access dedicated R&D support for designing specific holders or integrating special components, with the option of site acceptance testing or in-lab validation at LEA to ensure smooth implementation.
