InterSpec Radiation Analysis vs AccuRad Training

InterSpec assists in analyzing spectral nuclear radiation data, using a peak-based methodology. Common uses include identifying nuclides present, determining source activity, shielding amounts, source age, or other nuclear reactions present. InterSpec also provides a number of other tools useful for analyzing radiation data including spectral file format converting, dose rate calculations, interactive nuclide decay and reference information, gamma cross section calculations and references, and more. InterSpec can open data files from most common spectral radiation detectors (e.g., most NaI, HPGe, LaBr, CLYC, CsI, etc. based systems) and assist in their analysis.

The AccuRad Training Application provides interactive training content including tutorials and videos. For the organizations and users operating the AccuRad, this Application ensures the best level of understanding of the device, its capabilities, and the actions to take in case of an alarm. It also demonstrates how to safely and efficiently localize a radioactive source in different scenarios. The “take a test” button gives access to an interactive evaluation, including realistic situations where the user is trainee is asked how to proceed. There is a possibility to send the results to a training supervisor by email in order to track the skills of the AccuRad users.
