Overview
The RadEye™ NL Personal Highly Sensitive Neutron Radiation Detector is a compact, lightweight neutron detector designed for personnel working with neutron radiation sources. Features include rapid warning of neutron radiation fields, high sensitivity for neutron detection (exceeds ISO 22188 requirements), excellent gamma rejection (no spill-over up to 10 mSv/h), and hands-free operation when worn in an optional holster. The 160g detector uses a He-3 counting tube with 2.5 bar filling pressure, making it airline-transportable. It includes a clear display, 85 dB alarm at 30cm distance, IR/Bluetooth communication, and can log 250 alarms and 1600 history entries. Ideal for industrial neutron source operators, accelerator users, radiation protection staff, nuclear facility inspectors, first responders, and law enforcement.
