BY TYPE

• Personal Dosimeters — Personal dosimeters are compact radiation-monitoring devices designed to measure and record an individual’s exposure to ionizing radiation over a specific period. They are commonly worn by personnel working in nuclear facilities, hospitals, research laboratories, mining operations, and other radiation-prone environments. Personal dosimeters include electronic personal dosimeters (EPDs), thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters, and film badges. These devices support occupational safety programs by helping ensure that radiation exposure remains within prescribed limits.
• Area Process Monitors — Area process monitors are radiation detection systems used to continuously monitor radiation levels within specific locations or industrial processes. They are generally installed at fixed points in nuclear power plants, fuel-processing facilities, laboratories, medical facilities, and other controlled areas. These monitors can provide real-time measurements, alarms, and continuous surveillance when radiation levels exceed predetermined thresholds. They play an important role in protecting workers, monitoring process conditions, identifying abnormal radiation levels, and supporting facility-wide radiation safety management.
• Environmental Radiation & Surface Contamination Monitors — Environmental radiation and surface contamination monitors are instruments designed to detect and measure radiation in the surrounding environment and identify radioactive contamination on surfaces. Environmental monitoring equipment can measure radiation levels in air, water, soil, and surrounding areas, while surface contamination monitors are used to detect radioactive materials deposited on floors, equipment, clothing, work surfaces, and other objects. These systems are widely used around nuclear facilities, laboratories, healthcare facilities, waste-management sites, and decommissioning projects to support contamination control, environmental protection, regulatory compliance, and radiation safety.
• Radioactive Material Monitors — Radioactive material monitors are specialized systems used to detect, identify, and measure radioactive substances in materials, objects, waste, vehicles, cargo, or personnel. Depending on the application, these systems may detect gamma, beta, neutron, or other forms of radiation and can include portal monitors, waste monitors, vehicle monitors, hand-held detectors, and material screening systems. They are widely deployed in nuclear facilities, recycling and scrap-metal operations, waste-management facilities, border and security checkpoints, ports, and industrial sites to prevent the unauthorized movement of radioactive materials and ensure the safe handling and disposal of contaminated materials.

BY APPLICATION

• Healthcare — The healthcare segment includes the use of radiation detection, monitoring, and dosimetry equipment in hospitals, diagnostic centers, cancer treatment facilities, dental clinics, and medical research laboratories. These systems are used to monitor radiation exposure associated with X-ray imaging, CT scans, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, and other radiation-based medical procedures. Personal dosimeters, area monitors, and contamination monitoring systems help protect healthcare professionals, patients, and support personnel while assisting facilities in maintaining radiation safety standards and regulatory compliance.
• Manufacturing — The manufacturing segment covers the use of radiation monitoring equipment across industrial production, metal processing, non-destructive testing, semiconductor manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, and other industrial operations involving radioactive sources or radiation-generating equipment. Radiation detectors and monitors are used to measure occupational exposure, detect radioactive contamination, monitor industrial processes, and identify unwanted radioactive materials in raw materials or finished products. Increasing emphasis on workplace safety and contamination prevention supports the adoption of radiation monitoring solutions across manufacturing facilities.
• Nuclear Power — The nuclear power segment is a major application area for radiation detection and monitoring equipment due to the continuous presence and handling of radioactive materials throughout nuclear power generation activities. Nuclear facilities deploy personal dosimeters, area and process monitors, environmental radiation monitors, contamination monitors, and radioactive material monitoring systems to track worker exposure, monitor radiation levels, identify contamination, and detect abnormal conditions. These systems are used across reactor areas, fuel-handling facilities, waste-management sections, controlled zones, and plant surroundings and are essential for operational safety, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance.
• Others— The others segment includes radiation monitoring applications across research and educational institutions, defense and homeland security, border control, customs, airports, seaports, environmental agencies, radioactive waste management, emergency response, and recycling facilities. Radiation monitoring equipment is used to detect and identify radioactive materials, assess environmental radiation levels, monitor personnel exposure, and respond to radiological incidents. Growing concerns regarding radiation safety, nuclear security, radioactive waste handling, and environmental protection contribute to demand for radiation detection and monitoring solutions across these applications.
