RAD Buddy Smart Dosimeter
Related Patents: US 6,765,214 B1
The RAD Buddy Smart Dosimeter is a radiation dosimeter which monitors and evaluates radiological risks. The dosimeter provides an audible alarm indication reminding the user to check the dosimeter indication periodically, that a predetermined accumulated dose has been prematurely reached, and that the safe stay time has elapsed. The dosimeter has a small 4-digit LCD display with stay time programming pushbuttons, a watch-type battery, a miniature alarm (buzzer), and a reset switch. It also includes a built-in Bluetooth connection for transmitting data.
Accu-Frisk-Radiation Survey Rate and Distance Monitor
Related Patents: Patent Pending
There are many errors that can occur when frisking an area for radiation. INL engineers have developed the Accu- Frisk Radiation Survey Rate and Distance Monitor that combats the three most frequent errors in frisking. Accu-Frisk is an inexpensive, handheld battery operated radiation detection device designed to assist First Responder and Hazmat teams. It solves the three primary errors when frisking: moving too quickly over an area (turbo frisking), holding the device to far away from the surface, and bringing the probe in contact with a contaminated surface.
NORMS (Network-Oriented Radiation Monitoring System)
Related Patents: Patent Pending
Summary:
NORMS is a new radiation detection monitoring technology, which can improve safeguards to protect against a variety of unwanted events, such as theft of nuclear weapons and special nuclear materials and radiological sabotage. This device is capable of operating in a networked or a stand-alone configuration. It is capable of detecting both neutrons and gamma rays simultaneously, comparing the detected levels against configurable alarm set points, and then notifying a remote or a local location, respectively.
