  • Optimal results will be obtained when the vertical bar is within the range indicated by the two arrows.
  • Upon completion of the identification, the results are displayed:
  • "10" is the confidence level (10 is the highest confidence level possible).
  • The range of the Confidence Level is 1- 10. It will display the numeric 1 - 10.
  • "Cs-137" is the radioisotope.
  • "IND" is the usage for radioisotope.

 is the severity or threat. IMPORTANT! "Innocent" could still be a threat.

The FLIR identiFINDER R400 can identify and report some special radiation sources and a number of radionuclides.

The usage and severity association given in the table represents the factory defaults. You can adapt the association of nuclides with usage and severity to your particular demands.

The table is sorted by element names and lists the following properties of radiation sources.

  • Nuclide name in standard notation.
  • Nuclide name in simplified notation.
  • Half life.
  • Severity.

Usage:

  • NORM: Naturally occurring radioactive material
  • MED: Medically used material
  • IND: Industrially used material
  • SNM: Special nuclear material
  • NUC: Former name for SNM

* The user can organize the isotopes into libraries however they want, if they have administrative privileges on the RIID. These are just categories of common usage. The process of alarm adjudication is what will determine if the material is classified as “Threat” or “No Threat”.

The user has the ability to change the level of severity for the nuclides in the library. They cannot add to the library themselves, and they can’t organize them into groups other than what we’ve outlined (Innocent, Suspicious, Threatening). They are able to place the isotopes in whatever category they wish, in order to modify for their mission.
