Industry news that affects operations. Contracts, regulatory shifts, product launches, market moves. When something happens, it appears here.
Signals
A COTS ASIC that triggers system protection in 3–5 nanoseconds during a high-dose event — Micross integrates differential line drivers on-chip, achieving massive SWaP reductions for drones, satellites, and ground vehicles in contested environments.
Signals
Radiation detection hardware is becoming subservient to data analytics — Mirion’s C-suite AI appointment following $666M in acquisitions signals a shift toward algorithmic anomaly detection and predictive maintenance as the primary differentiator.
Signals
By acquiring Luxium Solutions (formerly Saint-Gobain Crystals), Excelitas vertically integrates one of the world's most capable scintillator foundries — a move that consolidates a critical node in the radiation detection hardware supply chain with implications for competing OEMs.
Signals
Wyoming moves to assume regulatory authority over source material from rare earth processing — a direct response to booming domestic critical mineral operations that concentrate uranium and thorium as byproducts, setting a procedural precedent for other states.
Signals
A dual-collimator CZT array that distinguishes live UF₆ gas from solid pipe-wall deposits in real-time — PNNL's UGES prototype cuts weight below 30 pounds and eliminates the manual post-processing that has plagued enrichment verification for decades.
Signals
The FY2026 budget proposes transferring the $13.9M Radiation Portal Monitor Replacement Program from the specialized CWMD office to CBP — signaling that radiation detection is becoming a core customs enforcement function, not a siloed WMD countermeasure.
Signals
ANSTO's CORIS360 GNI combines gamma and neutron imaging in a single portable platform — compressed sensing mathematics deliver 10x faster image reconstruction than legacy coded-aperture cameras, with remote operation that keeps frontline operators out of the hazard zone.
Signals
The ITER REMS tender defines what 'fusion-ready' radiation monitoring looks like — tritium ionization chambers, 14.1 MeV neutron detectors, and particulate samplers for magnetic confinement environments.
Signals
New IAEA guidance codifies a 7-step insider threat vetting process — and for the first time, explicitly brings transport personnel into scope.
Signals
Excelitas closes its acquisition of Luxium Solutions (formerly Saint-Gobain Crystals), achieving vertical integration of the radiation detection sensor stack. OEM integrators face immediate supply chain questions.
Signals
Zimbabwe publishes a radiation detection procurement for its airports — highlighting the ongoing effort to close detection gaps at transit nodes in the Global South.
Signals
The NRC outsources its own staff dosimetry to Radiation Detection Company — reinforcing the economics of specialized OSL processing and the regulator-as-customer signal.
