Radiation Monitoring for Transportation and Aid Workers
As Japan embarks on its massive recovery and cleanup effort, many people are moving around the country and may be at risk from higher-than-normal radiation exposure. Personal radiation meters that provide dose-monitoring can protect people from exceeding recommended dosage rates over time.
Those traveling around the country include aid workers from organizations such as the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders, journalists and transportation workers, many of whom are moving people, equipment and supplies around the country. Modes of transportation vary widely, including cars, trucks, planes, helicopters, trains, taxis and buses, as well as ships and boats.
Recommended Detection Solutions
Radiation Protection
DoseRAE is a lightweight direct-reading electronic personal dosimeter that provides dose monitoring accuracy.
DoseRAE 2 is a compact and lightweight direct-reading personal dosimeter and detector in one that uses RAE Systems’ dual-sensor technology for accurate and high-response-rate detection of X- and gamma-ray radiation.
GammaRAE II R provides rapid-response detection and accurate dosimeter measurements in a single, rugged, personal device.
