M2R2 CLLBC Multimode Radioisotope Identification Detector (RIID)
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology.
This year's R&D 100 2020 winner is listed below in their respective category.
Category: Software/Services
Developers: Kromek Group PLC
United Kingdom
Product Description:The M2R2 CLLBC Multimode Radioisotope Identification Detector (RIID), from the Kromek Group, is the first product of its kind incorporating the dual-mode, gamma-neutron sensitive CLLBC crystal. This next generation material, developed by RMD, previously won this award and this is the first instrument to move the technology from material to product. The M2R2 is an all-in-one, high-performance medium resolution RIID, designed for full ANSI 42.34 compliance and DNDO Technical Capability Standard compliance beyond anything currently available for SNM identification. The device is integrated into Military Standards, suitable for a wide variety of applications; from commercial security to DHS programs, to DoD operations for search, identification and characterization of radioactive materials in support of countering nuclear threats and mitigating human exposure to radioactivity. By leveraging new detection technologies and the world-leading PCS algorithm, the device introduces new features such as continuous isotope ID, while maintaining a small form factor and weight and a low lifetime operational cost. The longevity and stability of kit ensures minimal disruption in both commercial and military operations.
