Passive Radiation Detection Warning Device

Retrofitable to any metal detector walk through gates.

 

In view of the current world political scenery, an increase in the number of terrorist groups and individuals planning to smuggle or utilise radiation products against the world population

 

The PRDWD radiation detector can convert any existing metal detector walk through gate into a radiation detector.

The detector can be installed as a remote detector driven by the power of the main unit or can be installed by utilising an external 12 volt power supply. The detector can also be connected to a 12 volt DC battery.

The detector is capable of triggering a relay or a switching device, warning light or buzzer. All these operations can be triggered simultaneously or consecutively.

 

PRDWD can also operate in conjunction with biometrics access control.

The unit is simple to understand and install, with a warning light and an audible alarm which will take only minutes.

 

PRDWD does not detect non- ionsing radiation, for example, mobile telephones, microwaves, radars, etc.

PRDWD detects and indicates the presence of ionising radiation products of the man-made type known as radioisotopes or radionuclides including X-rays (ionising radiation).

 

The applications of PRDWD are many and are only restricted to the users applications in understanding this device properly.

PRDWD radiation detector requires no modification whatsoever to the existing metal detector walk through gates.

BRASS - Body Radiation Application Scanner can assist with not only security personnel checks, but has further applications in the Nuclear Medicine laboratory.

BRASS is an ideal Radiation Search Scanner Device enabling the quick identification and location of radionuclide isotopes, such as Iodine seeds, in the Nuclear Medicine environment.
Gammasonics™ philosophy is Prevention and Protection rather than Response, which has prompted the development of technology applicable to national security.

BRASS generates audible and visual warnings indicating the presence of radionuclides. The higher the level of radiation detected, the more frequent the audible sound and the indicating light.

BRASS for Radiation Protection - simple tool for detection of radiation leakage and contamination with a simple yes or no.

Dirty Bombs...

are a collection of one type or the combination of several types of radioisotopes. A simple dirty bomb device can be made even without utilisation of a detonator. The biggest problem produced by a dirty bomb is contamination which can last from few hours to many thousands of years.

In many cases, the dirty bomb carriers or makers will also lose their lives trying to achieve this
and the number of radionuclides available are many. Since September 11, customs authorities across the world have introduced checkpoint inspections for travelers possibly carrying radiological materials.
