Description

The Model SAM 920+ SPRD is a handheld spectroscopic personal radiation detector. It brings RIID-class detection, isotope identification, and field connectivity into a compact personal form factor that stays affordable to deploy at scale. The SAM 920+ SPRD is built for reliable nuclide identification with enhanced neutron sensitivity, and it follows ANSI N42.48. GPS and network connectivity let the unit aggregate field data into shared radiation maps. Sourceless auto-stabilization holds the energy calibration steady without a check source. A built-in camera, GPS, and gyro support the survey workflow, and one-touch reach-back connects the operator to expert review in the field.

Key Features

  • ANSI N42.48 compatible
  • Enhanced neutron sensitivity
  • Built-in camera, GPS, and gyro sensors
  • One-touch reach-back service
  • Sourceless auto-stabilization
  • Big-Data radiation mapping

High-Performance CLLBC Scintillator

The SAM 920+ SPRD uses a CLLBC scintillator, which detects gamma rays and neutrons simultaneously. CLLBC improves gamma energy resolution and increases neutron sensitivity compared with conventional materials. An onboard algorithm optimizes the separation between gamma and neutron events, so the operator reads a clean, reliable result for each radiation type.

Pulse-shape discrimination scatter plot. The CLLBC detector sorts gamma events and neutron events into distinct populations. 

Radiation Mapping (Big-Data)

GPS and network connectivity work together to aggregate field survey data into radiation maps that show source locations and contaminated areas across the survey region. The workflow moves through four stages: field collection, on-site detection, data transfer to the command center, and a finished radiation map for the response team.
