The NNSA Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation newsletter (Sentinel, Volume IV, Number 1) highlights the PHDS GeGI as a commercialization success from NNSA-funded research. The article notes that the GeGI uses compact electronics developed under the NNSA-sponsored High Rate Germanium Detector project, and that PHDS had a commercially viable system available at the project's conclusion. It is presented as an example of NNSA technology development transferring to the commercial marketplace and the national security mission.
