Hang in there for exciting updates on NEXT-Rad projects!
Capabilities
The NEXT-RAD Laboratory supports research and education in radiation detection, nuclear instrumentation, and nuclear security. Current capabilities in NEXT-RAD include:
- Multimodal radiation detection system with Augmented Reality (AR)
- 100 µCi Cf-252 neutron source
- Alpha-E D-D neutron generator
- Organic and inorganic gamma-ray and neutron detectors with associated electronics
- Sealed gamma-ray sources for calibration and experimental validation
- High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) multidetector system (coming soon) with timing/coincidence capabilities
These resources support activities in radiation detection, source localization, spectroscopy, safeguards, nonproliferation, robotics, and nuclear security.
