DAY-BY-DAY ACTIVITIES İN NE TECHNOLOGY

Every day, like their customers, NE Technology routinely work with radioactive materials, practise radiation measurements and carry out safety monitoring.

· Ion chambers are calibrated for use in cancer treatment.

· Gamma sources are loaded into heavily shielded containers, for industrial applications.

· Instruments and probes are tested to high precision, treceable to National Physical Laboratory standards.

· Waste material is monitored for safe disposal, under the supervision of our Radiaion Protection Adviser.

· We practise area and personel monitoring, because safety and security are under the same legislation as for any other nuclear site.

This continuous hands-on experience ensures a full awareness of the finets points of good instrument design. It also explains why our detectors are designed and manufactured from raw materials, and tested in-house wherever possible—guaranteeing both high quality and consistent standards for our customers.

SAFEGUARDING THE QUALITY OF LIFE

Every industrially developed nation makes use of ionising radition:

· Between %15 and %20 of the world’s electricity comes from nuclear energy.

· Much of the world’s equipment for cancer therapy and medical imaging relies upon radiation techniques.

· The qualities of steeli coal and oil-bearing rocks are routinely measures using radiation.

· Radiation has proved indispensable for improving agricultural programmes (such as controlling parasites and improving crop yields)

· Techniques employing radiation are daily increasing our knowledge in the Physical and Life Sciences.

In short, radiation has been harnessed in many ways to improve our quality of life.

But uncontrolled, radiation poses a threat to health. Therefore extremely high standards of safety must be followed whenever radioactive materials are used.

Of absolutely key importance here is the continuous monitoring of designated controlled aeras where radioactive materials are used.

This is achieved using special instruments which must be highly sensitive, reliable and always suitable for their purpose.

SOLAR CELLS

Although solar cells are known for their exacting role in space research, there are many other less publicised activities in which they meet equaly demanding needs. For example, recent concern over the energy stiuation has focussed much attention on solar cells. With over %40 of received solar energy being re-emitted without contributing to our energy resources, solar energy conversion for terrestrial uses seems a fruitful area of development. Solar cells can play a major part here without adverse effects on the environment, and with other energy sources increasing radiply in price, they become a truly economic alternative.

INFRARED DETECTORS

Mullard has been engaged in the development and manufacture of semiconductor infrared detectors since the late 1940s and is currently the largest manufacturer of these devices outside the U.S.A. detectors covering the spectrum from the near infrared to the milimetre region are available. Currently-available detectors include lead sulphide, indium antimonide (uncooled or cryogenically cooled), mercury cadmium telluride (thermoelectrically or cryogenically cooled), and pyroelectric types. Table 1 shows the range of Standard devices. In addition to these, more complex devices including arrays can be supplied custom-built. For further information, contact Mullard Limited.

The more important applications of infrared detectors include:

Thermal imaging imaring devices (military, industrial, medical),spectroscopic and radiometric instruments including gas analysers, process control equipment, hot axle box detectors, etc.

Fire alarm and flame proving systems, intruder detectors.

LABORATORY INVESTİGATİONS IN NUCLEAR SCİENCE

– The most comprehensive lab manual for teaching nuclear science !

Since our inception we have been deeply involved in the educational aspect of nuclear science, and in recent times we have increased that commitment along with our growth. ‘’Laboratory Investigations In Nuclear Science’’ is a well documented prof of our concern in meeting the needs of the teachers and students of nuclear science by providing them with a most comprehensive detailed and up date lab manual.

This manual contains over 20 detailed experiments. These include simple GM tube experiments, comprehensive experiments alpha/beta/gamma spectroscopy , neutron activation, X-ray fluorescence, nuclear electronics , and even detection and analysis of Radon. In addition, the manual has detailed appendices on nuclide index, and X-ray critical absorption and emmission energies.

This is the most detailed and handly lab manual for nuclear science students in beginning to advanced college level students in beginning to advanced college level students and teachers. We are proud of it !

IF YOU ARE LOOKİNG FOR A DEDİCATED MCA , THE NUCLEUS SPECTRUM-88 IS WHAT YOU NEED.

Compact and sturdy, this desk top Multichannel Analyzer with sophisticated nicroprocessor control, 8192 channels, on board 100 Mhz ADC, and a large range of options is the most advanced analyzer of its class.

The spectrum 88 is designed to carefully share the work load between multiple processors, and real time computation may be performed to calculate gross and net areas, centroid energies, ROI activities, peak FWHM. Data may be outputted, recalled, and displayed without attecting ongoing mesurements.

NUCLEUS IS A LEADER IN RADON MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTATİON:

The detection and measurement of radon gas has attracted the attention of the EPA and health officials world wide, and now pose a major concern in many areas of US, Canada and some other parts of the world. With increasing awareness, the demand for reliable labs with EPA certified counting systems is likely to grow. Ever since Dr. Bernard Cohen of the University of Pittsburgh utilized our model 800 MCA for the counting of radon, the Nucleus has been a leading manufacturer of radon counting systems. Our PC based analyzer, and simple to use software, which corrects for moisture uptake by charcoal canisters and istope decay from time of sampling to measurement, also provides you with the option of printed reports to your customers. Our system is accurate meets EPA standards, and simple to use ! The Nucleus is the only company making calibration sources for both 4’’ EPA and 2^3/4 ‘’ diffusion barrier type canisters, and software for both types of canisters are available. Our new EN-26 A lead shield with its hinged split top will accommodate most types of canisters, and teh Nucleus system is capable of handling multiple detectors. Your business can start small and expand easily as demand increases.

No special skills are required to operate our systems, and we will train you at no additional charge. Call on us and we will gladly share with you our years of experience in Radon counting.
