Radioactive
Elements
Uranium (U): Uranium is perhaps the most widely recognized radioactive element. It has several isotopes, with uranium-238 being the most abundant and uranium-235 used for nuclear energy and weapons. Plutonium
(Pu): Plutonium is a synthetic radioactive element primarily produced in nuclear reactors. It has various isotopes, with plutonium-239 being the most significant due to its use in nuclear weapons and reactors.
Radium (Ra): Radium is a highly radioactive element discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. It emits alpha particles and is known for its luminescent properties. Radium-226 is the most common isotope.
Polonium (Po): Polonium is a highly radioactive element that exists in several isotopes. It gained infamy due to its use in the assassination of Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko in 2006.
Thorium (Th): Thorium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that is significantly more abundant than uranium. It is being explored as a potential alternative to uranium in nuclear energy production.
Cesium (Cs): Cesium-137 is a radioactive isotope commonly produced by nuclear fission. It has both industrial and medical applications and was notably released during the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disasters.
Iodine (I): Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope used in nuclear medicine and diagnostics. It is also a byproduct of nuclear fission and can be released during nuclear accidents.
Technetium (Tc): Technetium is a synthetic radioactive element that does not occur naturally on Earth. It is widely used in medical imaging and diagnostic procedures.
Americium (Am): Americium is a synthetic radioactive element commonly used in smoke detectors due to its alpha particle emissions.
Radon (Rn): Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms as a decay product of uranium and thorium. It is a significant contributor to indoor air pollution and a potential health hazard
Kromek RayMon10 CZT Handheld Gamma and Isotope identifier
Kromek RayMon10 CZT Handheld Gamma and Isotope identifier is the world’s most powerful CZT handheld radiation monitor. It can be used to detect, measure, detect and analyze radionuclide emitting gamma rays. RayMon10 ® is robust, lightweight, and easy to use; its portability and usability are second to none. The CZT detector provides high-resolution gamma-ray spectra for simple and unequivocal detection. For the first time, high-resolution CZT technology makes User can easily display the dosage continuum in the RadBar ® chart. As presented in combination with the release of the energy known radionuclides the main dose sources can be established determined. Color scaling can be adjusted by the user. The appeal notice that only energy is provided by the RadBar The scale 0-1500keV, while the graphical scale is the same the energy spectrum is 0-000keV
