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.
RIDcontrol
Read full descriptionHide full description
RIDcontrol is an app that can be used to remotely control, manage and configure Radionuclide Identifying Devices (RID)'s based on the Target F501/F901 device class. The app is only useful in combination with a compatible RID (see below). Without such hardware, the app is useless. Supported instruments: Target F501/F901, CAEN DiscoveRAD, Graetz RadXplore-ident, Rapiscan 501/901.
