Canberra Industries

What Canberra Industries does

Canberra Industries is a heritage radiation measurement and detection brand founded in 1965 in Meriden, Connecticut, now operating as a wholly-owned brand under Mirion Technologies, Inc., a publicly listed parent with a U.S. domicile and global operations. The business designs, manufactures, and services instruments for nuclear measurement, health physics, and radiation safety, including gamma and alpha spectroscopy systems, in vivo systems, alpha/beta counting, contamination and clearance instruments, and radiation monitoring platforms such as RAMSYS, CAMSYS, and the CSPevo probe family. Core platforms also include the Vital Supervision centralized supervisory software and the Instadose VUE wireless personal dosimeter for occupational radiation monitoring.

The company serves three primary verticals: nuclear power operators (reactor monitoring, SMR design, fuel cycle, safeguards, and decommissioning), healthcare and medical facilities (radiation therapy QA, nuclear medicine instrumentation, medical imaging tables, and occupational dosimetry), and defense and security organizations (CBRNe instruments, security and search systems, critical infrastructure protection). Secondary segments include industrial high-temperature camera applications and research/education customers. The go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales backed by regional sales and service offices in the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Finland, and Japan, with multi-year contracts, customized configurations, and undisclosed enterprise pricing.

Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales (instruments, probes, dosimeters, imaging tables), recurring dosimetry services (badge monitoring and compliance reporting), managed services and customer support agreements (calibration, maintenance), and professional services including training, certification programs, and specialized measurement expertise. Notable commercial signals include selection of Mirion Crew Active Dosimeters for NASA's Artemis II mission, a Paragon-led contract supporting NuScale Power's Small Modular Reactor program, and CEO Thomas Logan's election to the Nuclear Energy Institute board.
