H3D has several options for high-resolution #radiation imagers that can withstand vehicle-based mechanical shocks. They are currently installed on several types of tactical vehicles that specialize in #CBRNE response, some of which look like the tan turret modeled below.

Check out "The debate about nuclear energy must be reframed for the future" by assistant prof. Aditi Verma and Katie Snyder in the @bulletinatomic anniversary issue.
Today marks 80 years since our nonprofit newsroom started publishing. To mark this milestone—in true Bulletin fashion—we published a magazine issue that looks to the future. Check it out: buff.ly/REJsWIF

Introducing our redesigned our GammAware 3D #radiation imager. It weighs < 7 kg and can be carried in 1 hand for easy 3D radiation mapping. H3D delivered our first unit last week and will have live GammAware demonstrations in the USA and Belgium this week #cbrne #npp #radwaste

We very much appreciate this support of our nuclear engineering students and this emphasize on creativity (in this case music). Creativity is an important skill for a nuclear engineer. Thanks Mrs. Farrell for your support of our students.
