At a major public event, security is no longer limited to preventing conventional threats. Authorities must now factor in the rare but real risk of the malicious use of radioactive materials. In light of these challenges, the IAEA actively encourages host countries to deploy appropriate radiological detection and monitoring capabilities.
It is in this context that, during an international soccer tournament, Bertin Nuclear deployed its environmental radiation monitoring system to ensure continuous, round-the-clock surveillance of the sites.
At the core of the system: the GammaTRACER XL2 probe.
A field-proven reference instrument, the GammaTRACER XL2 delivers continuous, real-time measurement and recording of environmental gamma dose rates. Fully autonomous thanks to its solar power supply and rechargeable battery, it operates without interruption even under the most demanding conditions.
Resilient by design. Reliable under pressure.
One of the system’s key strengths lies in its redundant, secure data transmission architecture. By combining 4G mobile network connectivity with proprietary ShortLINK radio technology, the GammaTRACER XL2 guarantees uninterrupted communication — even in crisis scenarios. When an elevated dose rate is detected, the probe automatically switches measurement cycles for an immediate and precise response.
Data Collected. Informed Decisions
To monitor the entire network of deployed sensors, Bertin Nuclear has implemented DataEXPERT 10, its web-based centralized data management solution. From a single, intuitive interface, operators can view all measurements in real time, analyze trends, and automatically receive alerts when anomalies are detected.
Invisible threats. Visible expertise.
By integrating these technologies into a major international event, Bertin Nuclear proves that environmental radiological monitoring is not just a technical capability, it is a fundamental pillar of modern risk management and population protection.
