Neotron is developing a new class of nuclear detectors to advance nuclear safety and reduce the risk of nuclear catastrophe. The firm's detectors offer distinct advantages over currently available detection systems. They are direction sensitive, efficient at long-range stand off distances and can detect both plutonium and uranium sources. In addition, their superior background rejection reduces the rate of false positives. Neotronâs detectors are designed for sustainability, with no reliance on He-3. Neotron technology is based on the research of leading experimental particle physicists from Boston University and MIT. They bring to bear established techniques from high energy physics in addressing the need for more effective, yet cost-efficient nuclear detection systems. Their expertise derives from decades of designing and building high-precision particle detectors for dark matter and anti-matter searches, and the development of large-scale detector components for the Large Hadron Collide
