Rad eagle

Question 1

What is the RAD Eagle

Answer 1

NAL detector- Thallium (TL) activated sodium iodide crystal

Question 2

How does it work?

Answer 2

scintillation detector-Used to collect pulse height spectrum of the gamma photons that interact with the scintillation crystal

Question 3

How does it work?

Answer 3

Geiger-Mueller detector- Dose rate is determined by either the scintillation detector or the internal geiger-mueller tube. once dose rate exceeds 200 microsieverts an hour geiger tube will perform dose rate measurement suited for measuring dose rates up to 1 sievert per hour

Question 4

Rad eagle stuff

Answer 4

If Geiger-Mueller detector kicks in, you are in an extremely dangerous level of radiation.

Question 5

Modes of the RAD eagle

Answer 5

Neutron Detector-Continuously runs and acquire current neutron counts per second.

Question 6

Modes of the Rad eagle

Answer 6

Norm- Naturally occuring material- potassium 40k Thorium 232tn Uranium ore

Question 7

Leds of the RAD eagle

Answer 7

Neutron- Blue- if this activates use Time distance shielding
Gamma- green-
Battery failure-red
Charging- yellow

Question 8

Modes of the Rad eagle

Answer 8

Dose rate- main mode of the RAD eagle
Easy ID mode- Helps to quickly identify nuclides.
Detect mode- used to locate radiation sources using audio and visual feedback. (green red and blue bars)
