A set of robust and reliable portable Radiation Protection Instruments (RPI) is the backbone of a Health Physicists toolkit. Hand-held portable survey meters are widely used for the detection of radiation as they are light, portable and easy to use. These meters have excellent sensitivity as they concentrate on the detection of the radiation rather than the identification of the radioactive material.
The Rados RDS-200 Meter is an excellent multipurpose radiation meter for a wide range of applications. It was designed for situations where accurate measurements at high and low dose rate levels are of importance and covers a dose rate range from 0.01µSv/h to 10 Sv/h. With a robust IP 67 casing, RF and NEMP shielding, an operational temperature range of -30° to +55° C, data logging and military specification connectors, the RDS-200 is rugged and reliable. It can be rapidly combined with a range of alpha, beta and gamma probes for additional functionality.
The Rados RDS-30 Radiation Survey meter is a compact, lightweight, portable and versatile gamma survey meter with a dose rate range from 0.01µSv/h to 100 mSv/h. The meter is cased in a robust, yellow housing with a large and clear display and single push button operation. With a 480 data point dose histogram and alarm record facility and infrared download facility, the RDS-30 is suited for a radiation survey in field conditions by personnel in full PPE.
The Rados RDS-80 surface contamination meter is a versatile contamination detector based on a 2" pancake end window GM detector. It has a range of 1 to 100 000 counts per second which can be configured with various nuclide calibration coefficients to give activity ranges from 1 to 100 000 Bq/cm2. The meter is cased in a robust, yellow housing with a large and clear display and single push button operation. With a 480 data point dose histogram and alarm record facility and infrared download facility, the RDS-30 is suited for a radiation survey in field conditions by personnel in full PPE.
The RDS 30 and RDS 80 are available in an emergency response kit with space in the case for spare batteries, dosimeters and other essentials.
Mobile Wall and Large Surface Area Monitor
The new Rados QuickSweep monitor has a large area (1000 cm2) BetaFibreTM detector for the rapid surveying of walls, floors and other large surfaces.
The Quicksweep has a simple user interface with push-button operation making it easy to use without specialist training.
The gas-free detection technology combined with battery mode allow for rapid and flexible deployment. In addition, an extension arm can be fitted to the handle to extend the reach of the operator and to facilitate the surveying of walls without scaffolding or ladders.
The QuickSweep has a large area and highly sensitive detector to facilitate rapid monitoring of large areas. The detector is highly sensitive to both alpha and beta radiation, which combined with its low sensitivity to gamma radiation makes it an excellent tool for identifying radioactive contamination.
Floor Monitor
The FloorSweep Fibre is a wheeled variant of the QuickSweep designed to effortlessly monitor floors and pile caps. It features the same detection technology and operator interface as the QuickSweep.
JFIMS also supply a range of portable detection instruments which use spectroscopy to identify the isotope detected
