A highly scalable platform for radiation measurement data collection with high precision time stamping and time measurements between the elements in the detection array uses IEEE 1588 with or without Synchronous Ethernet (timing over Ethernet) to synchronize the measurements. At a minimum, the system includes at least two radiation detector units, an IEEE 1588 and SyncE enabled Ethernet switch, and a computer for processing. The addition of timing over Ethernet and power over Ethernet (PoE) allows a radiation measurement system to operate with a single Ethernet cable, simplifying deployment of detectors using standardized technology with a multitude of configuration possibilities. This eliminates the need for an additional hardware for the timing measurements which simplifies the detection system, reduces the cost of the deployment, reduces the power consumption of the detection system and reduces the overall size of the system.

A directional gamma radiation detector system for determining an angle under which a measured gamma radiation hits a gamma radiation detector system, includes gamma radiation detectors arranged in close distance; detector electronics for operating the at least two gamma radiation detectors as spectrometers in a way that the detector electronics are collecting energy spectra of the detected gamma rays for each gamma radiation detector; and system electronics allowing the directional gamma radiation detector system to identify coincident events in the at least two gamma radiation detectors.
