INSPECTOR - A PORTABLE MULTIPURPOSE MCA

Decommissioning and decontamination work, safeguards related measureme nts for special nuclear materials, and many other in-situ applications require that the measuring system be taken to the sample and not the other way around. In addition to a portable detector, these types of m easurements need a lightweight, rugged, battery operated MCA. Canberra 's solution to this need is the versatile InSpector Multi-Channel Anal yzer. This single instrument includes the MCA memory management, a hig h voltage power supply for either a NaI or a Ge detector, a spectrosco py grade amplifier, a digital stabilizer, and an ADC. It has a total w eight of 3.2 kg, including batteries.
