  1. Food Monitoring Systems for the Detection of Radionuclides in Food and Water

  2. Contaminated Food All Over the News

  3. Complementing Approaches to Food Monitoring • Food monitoring systems designed to work out of the box • Simple to use interface for quick data entry • Configurations for both Administrators and Operators • Clear results and reports

  4. FoodGuard-1 NaI Food Monitoring System • 3” x 3” NaI detector • USB connected digiBASE that combines a preamp, high voltage, and MCA all in one • Full system precalibrated and tested in factory • PC and printer preloaded with software and calibration files • Simple interface for fast set up and testing • KClchecksource integrated into shield for regular calibration checks • Six 1L marinellis included with system • Measured MDA of 14 Bq/l in 30min.

  5. FoodGuard-1 Software • Designed to move users from setup to results as fast as possible • Intended for scientists and non-scientists alike • Clear and easy to use interface decrease human error • Functionality defined for both Supervisors and Operators • Multiple reporting options to review results • Screens for most common radio nuclides from nuclear power plant events • 131I, 103Ru, 134Cs, 137Cs

  6. FoodGuard-1 Setup • Password protected for Supervisors • Wizard walks through performing calibration check • Simple entry boxes to define sample types, sample names, etc. • Set overall system settings • Define alarms based on absolute levels and percentages

  7. FoodGuard-1 Run and Results • Easy data entry through drop down menus • Enter samples as volume or weight • Audible and visual feedback of exceeded alarms • Multiple reporting options for different views on the data

  8. FoodGuard-1 Ordering Options • FOODGUARD-1-PC • A complete NaI food monitoring system including all hardware, software, and preconfigured PC and printer • FOODGUARD-1 • Software and hardware to complete a food monitoring solution with a customer supplied computer and printer • 1L-MARINELLI-CASE • Additional case of 1L marinelli beakers for use with the FoodGuard-1 system

  9. FoodGuard-2 HPGe Food Monitoring System • High resolution system to achieve lower MDA levels in a shorter count time • Edit custom nuclide libraries to expand nuclides being tested • Professional and customizable HTML and PDF reports • Options for both detector efficiency and cooling mechanism • Precalibrated and tested at factory • Ships with six 2L Marinelli beakers • Includes 2L KClchecksource

  10. FoodGuard-2 Setup • Settings only available to Supervisor • Calibration check with included checksource • Set up of additional system parameters similar to FoodGuard-1 • Additional options to report in Bq or convert to microCuries

  11. FoodGuard-2 Alarm Setup • Includes multiple Limit Libraries derived from published limits of worldwide governement organizations • Users can create new libraries or edit existing libraries • Alarms can be set for specific nuclide activity and/or the sum of nuclides • User can add more nuclides to the Limit Libraries using a simple interface

  12. FoodGuard-2 Run and Results • Operator selects from prepopulated dropdowns to decrease human error • Multiple calibration files can be loaded to account for different sample geometries • Immediate feedback given during the run through a live spectrum display

  13. FoodGuard-2 Report Customization • Professional reports in HTML and PDF for easy sharing and archiving • XML reports can be easily customized to include company logos and additional customer information

  14. FoodGuard-2 Ordering Options • All systems come with software, MCA, shield, PC and printer • You choose: • Detector efficiency – 20-60% • Cooling options – Dewar and cryostat or X-Cooler mechanical cooler • Additional add-on options: • GammaVision Software • Dig deeper into results and create additional calibration files • ANGLE • Easily create new calibrations for different sample geometires • Nuclide Navigator • Interactively view, search, and extract detailed information from nuclide databases
