SWAN – Hazardous Materials Detection System
Print

Hazardous Materials Detection System is the mobile device designed for detecting explosives and/or toxic materials concealed in monitored containers by means of neutron activation analysis. In a matter of minutes the device is capable of distinguishing toxic or explosive material from the one that is neutral and harmless. The device offers a noninvasive method for qualitative and quantitative isotopic analysis.

Features

  • mobility
  • real time analysis
  • simplified and intuitive user interface
  • dedicated software and electronics

Principle of operation

  • sample activation with continuous flux of 14-MeV neutrons
  • observation of the distinctive neutron induced gamma-emmision from the activated sample
  • isotopes identification, materials recognition and threat classification
