Mission

From Detec-Rad.com

Our aim is to assist our clients in solving problems related to nuclear radiation. The situations encountered are varied and challenging. They encompass the design of detectors and dosimeters, the estimation of the internal dose following the ingestion or uptake of radioactivity, the designs of casks for the containment of radioisotopes and of large shields for irradiation installations, the estimation of the effects of radiation on living organisms, on materials and on electronic components, etc.

We achieve our aim through the use of the most modern hardware and software tools available. On the experimental side we are able, through access to accredited radiation standards laboratories and a wide range of irradiation centers, to perform radiation damage studies or the evaluation of radiation monitoring systems. For complex radiation problems, experimental measurements are corroborated theoretically through computer modeling. In our work, we make use of powerful, state of the art Monte Carlo radiation transport codes running on a parallel computing platform.
