UltraRadiac™ Personal Radiation Monitor

Features Description

N

Personal radiation monitor designed for the needs of first responders The potential threat of a radiological terrorism incident requires that first responders are equipped with a radiation monitor that is designed to address the radiation hazards they may face. CANBERRA’s UltraRadiac™ is the perfect unit for firefighters, HAZMAT teams, paramed-ics and other first respond- ers. It offers the small size and light weight needed to avoid interference with the critical work of first responders while providing continually updated information to the wearer.Most electronic dosimeters on the market were intended for laboratory use, and not for the rugged environments that first responders may encounter. CANBERRA’s UltraRadiac – based on a US Military design – is a small, rug-ged, simple to operate radiation monitor that displays both the radiation lev-els and the total dose that is received. A large, backlit LCD display ensures that the unit can be read in any light conditions. Alarms are annunciated by a flashing display and loud audible signal (and optionally, vibration of the unit itself), when user-set dose rate or total dose alarm levels are exceeded. There are two separate alarm levels for both dose rate and total dose. The first alarm would generally be set at a level somewhat above natural background to alert the wearer that radiation is present. The second would then be set at a higher level, indicating a significant hazard that requires ac- tion. The UltraRadiac also has a unique “stay time” feature that shows the wearer how much time (at the current dose rate) he/she can remain in place before a high dose alarm is reached.
