Environmental Gamma Spectroscopy System (EGSS)
EGSS is a standalone, solar powered, battery operated unit with GSM based online wireless data communication for installation in open field. It has a 2"×2" NaI(Tl) based gamma spectrometer, together with GM tube based gross gamma detectors, the former being automatically switched on when the dose rate detected by the latter increases beyond a pre-set threshold value. The establishment of a network of such field-installed systems with online communication would facilitate the real-time identification of radionuclide releases in case of radiological/nuclear emergencies. This would help in turn to facilitate prompt radionuclide-specific countermeasures in case of such incidents.

- Standalone, solar-powered and battery operated field-deployable system for real-time gamma Spectroscopy in open environment.
- Online wireless GSM based data communication from field-installed system to central receiving station.
- NaI(Tl)-PMT based spectrometer.
- Utilizes an in-house designed and developed FPGA based MCA.
- Only a flat surface required for installation.
- No requirement of AC mains supply.
- No requirement of on-site data logging computer.
- GM counter based ERM turns-on spectrometer only when ambient gamma dose rate goes beyond a pre-set threshold level.
- Once the battery is fully charged, works up to nearly 3 days in absence of sunlight with Spectroscopy turned-on (works for nearly 15 days in normal background radiation environment).
