CANBERRA France is the former Eurisys Mesures, which was originally created in 1993 with the merger of 3 long-established nuclear instrumentation companies:
- Intertechnique, specializing in multichannel analysers, neutron measurements, and criticality accident detection systems.
- Enertec/Schlumberger, which specialized in the manufacture of Ge and Si detectors and associated electronics
- Numelec, specializing in alpha and beta low background counting systems and Frisch grid chambers.
During the 1990's Eurisys Mesures acquired three additional companies to add to its capabilities:
- Dextray, which manufactured gas detectors
- Nardeux, which manufactured health physics instrumentation
- Nomatek, which manufactured dosimetry products.
Today, CANBERRA France has 3 manufacturing sites:
- Lingolsheim (near Strasbourg), which specializes in the development and manufacturing of scientific detectors for research centers, space industry and international scientific experiments.
- Loches (near Tours), which manufactures a comprehensive range of health physics products such as portal monitors, access control systems, hand-held instruments and dosimetry, mainly for the nuclear industry and civil security markets. The factory in Loches also makes He-3 detectors for neutron measurement systems and Frisch grid chambers and other alpha/beta counting systems for nuclear and environmental laboratories.
- Montigny (near Paris) specializes in the design and delivery of turn-key systems for criticality detection, D&D, fuel monitoring and waste management markets.
