Thermo's industry-leading "Natural Background Reduction" (NBR) technology offers significant gains in detection sensitivity, whie lowering false alarms due to naturally radioactive materials of no consequence of concern.  Large area, premium-grade scintillation detectors provide 24/7 maximum detection to any objects, persons or vehicles passing by.  Neutron detectors are also available to enhance detection of Special Nuclear Materials (SNM).

We offer a configured approach to best facilitate each site-specific criteria to optimize protection without compromise in fulfilling the mission.  A variety of controllers, detectors, options accessories and services all combine to ensure the highest level of security is assured.

Our mission at Thermo, to maximize protection by delivering the very best technology, detection sensitivity and reliability, is no less important than your own - protecting our families, friends, neighbors and properties.

The advanced Safety-Guard series of radiation detection systems utilizes a modular design that offers selection between two configurable controllers (Series I and Series II). To optimize detection coverage, upwards of 8 detectors may be linked to a controller using either the gamma only (G) or gamma-neutron (GN) detectors equipped with either 500 in3 or 1500 in3 scintillation volumes.  Contact our security specialists to configure a system optimized to meet your criteria.
