NAUSICAA IC-T/ICP-T

Pressurised ion chamber gamma monitor, 10 nSv/h–10 Sv/h

Gamma monitoring unit with a pressurised ion chamber, electrometer and CPU-based control unit, with very high sensitivity and stable response. IC-T is intended for environmental measurements and IC-T-PF for pulsed fields around accelerators. ICP-T is the same detector managed by a SATURN ratemeter, and DISCOVERY IC-T is an IP65 version for outdoor use.
