Introduction

The GR-100 is one of the most advanced, yet simple to use, personal radiation monitors deployed in
customs, security, military and emergency response applications. It has been designed to provide
accurate and reliable measurement of gamma and neutron radiation, trigger visual and audio alarms to
warn the operator, and accurately measure exposure Dose Rate over the full spectrum range. It also
aids the operator in search and location of the source of the detected radiation. The spectrum of the
source can be measured and stored in the memory. The unit is typically used as a belt-mounted monitor
or a hand-held search detector. It automatically stores alarm events date and time and dose data in its
memory for subsequent retrieval to a PC. Its simple one-button operation and user-friendly operator
interface make it truly an ideal front-line tool for a variety of users involved in detection and interception
of radioactive and nuclear materials.
