What Radiation Solutions does

Radiation Solutions Inc. (RSI) is a Canadian radiation detection and monitoring company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. The company designs and manufactures gamma-ray and neutron detection equipment using PVT (Polyvinyltoluene), NaI (Sodium Iodide), and BGO detector technologies, spanning more than 20 hardware SKUs across six product categories: airborne survey systems (RSX-3/4/5, RS-530, RS-700), portable backpack spectrometers (RS-330/332, RS-340, RS-350), stationary radiation portal monitors (RS-200, RS-300, RS-400, RS-400 SECURITY, RS-250), handheld instruments (RS-120 through RS-232 BGO), and laboratory analyzers (RS-50 LAB). The company also develops supporting software including DATACENTER for centralized system monitoring and RADINSPECT for radiation data analysis and inspection workflows.

RSI sells primarily to enterprise and government customers across six verticals: homeland security (border and port radiation portal monitors), nuclear power (continuous gamma monitoring), steel manufacturing (multi-layer plant protection networks for charge bucket, gate, conveyor, dust, and lab monitoring), geophysical exploration (airborne and portable systems for uranium, thorium, and potassium mapping), waste and recycling (scrap metal and vehicle/train monitoring), and environmental monitoring. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales supplemented by professional services including calibration, training, and custom solution design; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for large government and industrial accounts with a US channel partnership through Analytical Solutions Inc. (Knoxville, Tennessee) handling US steel and scrap vehicle monitor inquiries.

The business is privately held and vertically integrated in design and manufacturing, supported by proprietary spectral analysis and NASVD technology for shielded-source identification and false-alarm suppression. On November 7, 2025, RSI acquired RMS Instruments Limited to broaden innovation capacity and market reach, with RMS continuing to operate as an independent entity.
