The K8 and H8 are small discreet alarming ratemeters for detecting radiation and radioactive materials near by protecting people from radiation exposure. All units are tested using an NIST traceable radiation source. Ideal for airport checkpoint guards and baggage handlers, pilots and flight attendants, police and firefighter, coast guard, border patrols, military, hospital workers, package and courier services, custom and cargo inspection.

Applications:

• Detection of Dirty Bombs & other sources of radiation
• Meets NCRP for Management of Terrorist Events Involving Radioactive Material
• Capable of detecting very small amounts of radioactive materials
• High performance; tested by using NIST traceable sources
