BM-285 bag and BM-286 barrel monitors measure gamma contamination of containerized material. The BM-285 holds items up to 500 lb., the BM-286 holds 55 gallon drums up to 1,000 lb.

High sensitivity is achieved using large surface area plastic scintillator detectors on six sides of the counting chamber, microprocessor controlled electronics and sophisticated software algorithms. (read more)

The BM-185 is designed to scan small items (less than 1 ft3), for radioactive contamination. It provides 4pi geometry and efficiency of greater than 45% for 60Co.

The BM-185 is ideal for monitoring small items prior to release and provides accurate go/no go analysis with typical scan times of one to three minutes. (read more)

TSA's PRM-470 hand held series is a popular choice for locating radioactive sources and measuring intensity in the field. Applications include SNM searches at plant exits, material access areas and background monitoring. The small size, light weight and long battery life make it ideal for searching vehicles that require extended search times. (read more)

TSA's train monitor TM-850 consists of two self-contained, weather resistant pillars placed on either side of the railroad track to be monitored.

The TM-850 train monitor is designed to automatically scan railroad traffic without the need for frequent calibration and where relatively low energy emissions from ²³⁵U and ²³⁹Pu are the main concern. (read more)

The PM-702 is a low cost, highly reliable personnel portal Category II SNM monitor. It will detect 10g of ²³⁹Pu (HEU) on a walk-through basis. The system consists of three main components; two vertical pillars each containing an organic plastic scintillator detector, and a crossover pillar. (read more)

PM-700 is a stand-alone, pedestrian portal monitor with excellent sensitivity and reliability. Large detectors and unique detection algorithm achieve ASTM Standard C 1169 Category III sensitivity for SNM. The PM-700 is adaptable for neutron detection capability. After initial site preparation, systems are operational in less than one hour. (read more)

The VM-250 consists of two, self-contained, weather resistant pillars placed on either side of the roadway to be protected. Each pillar contains two plastic scintillator detectors, an occupancy detector and an amplifier/controller. The VM-250 is adaptable for neutron detection capability. Models are equipped with RS-232 and Ethernet communications capability. (read more)

TSA's CVM-267 is a stand-alone conveyor portal monitor which can be positioned on the side or mounted directly above a moving beltway. This extremely reliable system features highly sensitive detection for gamma and neutron radiation. Applications: transportation centers, detecting ²³⁵U, ²³⁹Pu, and shielded neutron emitters.
