Remote monitoring of radiation levels, with isotopicentification of radionuclides, is accomplished with the Berkeley Nucleonics Model 1035 areaSAM. The fixed monitoring systems provide simpleentification data, backed up by full qualitative spectroscopic data, isotope , isotope specific dose rates and isotopeentification in real time. New firmware upgrades allow users to set up multiple email addresses to receive ANSI N42.42 compliant reports. Theentification algorithms used are similar to the company's flagship portable isotopeentifiers, arguably the world's leadingentification algorithms in a non-germanium application.  

This feature set is upgradeable in the field and offered to existing areaSAM users at no additional cost. Email notification may be configured for internal use, or for a broader reachback network that addresses your region support teams. Email contents are not encrypted and do not meet ified rating requirements.  

The areaSAM is a spectroscopic area monitor for waste, nuclear medicine, landfill and recycling facilities, storage or perimeter monitoring applications. Each unit provides time-slice spectroscopic data that can be married to existing data stream protocols or used in addition to other monitoring practices with a simple computer based interface.

About the Company Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation, founded in 1963, is a leading manufacturer of precision electronic instrumentation for test, measurement and nuclear research. BNC has its corporate headquarters in San Rafael, California with several additional manufacturing facilities and sales offices located throughout the United States.

In the mid 1990s, BNC built a strong market position in radiation detection and analysis instrumentation. In 1997 the BNC Nuclear Products Group introduced the SAM 935 Surveillance and Measurement system, the first real-time analysis tool forentification and quantification of multiple radionuclides.

BNC nuclear spectroscopy products now serve a broad cross-section of industries involved in environmental monitoring, health physics, emergency response and power generation. The company has recently begun offering a nationwide radiation detection, surveillance and measurement training program, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of principles and techniques for isotopeentification and analysis
