Arktis Radiation Detectors offers consulting services to businesses and governments. Notably, members of our team advise the European Commission on security issues.

Write an email to consulting(at)arktis-detectors.com, so that we can contact you and discuss the challenges you face. We will then propose a custom offer for our services. Our offering includes:

Schooling

The society is largely uninformed about the causes and implications of ionizing radiation. Nevertheless, not a day passes on which the general public is not confronted with the subject. On a regular basis, subjects such as natural radioactivity, nuclear proliferation, nuclear energy, and radiological terrorism occupy a significant time allocation in current events reports.

Since the subject matter is of substantial complexity, it is a challenge for policy makers, press & media, and decision makers in industry to keep an overview.

Arktis Radiation Detectors Ltd offers advisory services to decision makers confronted with radiation issues. We have considerable experience and knowledge when it comes to analyzing this subject matter and have access to a comprehensive knowledge base. In this way we can help you differentiate real from perceived risks. Complicated radiological dose units can be put in relation to natural exposure values, allowing more intuitive comparison.

Threats and Threat Mitigation

Our competence includes having a good overview of existing and emerging radiological and nuclear detection technology as well as nuclear science methods for CBRNE (chem, bio, rad, nuc, explosives) interdiction. Understanding of these tools and their limits is a key issue in designing security architecture.

In depth analysis of diverse threat scenarios as well as possible responses from the nuclear scientific perspective are presented. Probability and consequence factors for each set of scenarios are assessed, and adequate mitigation strategies proposed.

Radiation Shielding Studies

Our capabilities to provide radiation propagation simulations using state of the art Monte-Carlo software allow precise analysis of most situations involving ionizing radiation. In this way, reliable values can be obtained for the dose rates to which personnel or equipment is exposed. Likewise, damage assessment for radiological incidents can be performed.

Monte Carlo simulation allows the optimization of shielding for personnel or equipment protection. Furthermore, it provides a basis for the estimation of detection limits for sensor equipment.
