Kromek Launch D3 PRD Personal Radiation Detector

摘要

Kromek Group plc has announced the launch of the D3 PRD, the new, all-in-one, high-accuracy personal radiation detector (PRD) for first responders, armed forces, border security and CBRNE experts. The D3 PRD continuously monitors gamma radiation levels, equipping security forces to protect against the threat of nuclear terrorism and the illicit movement of nuclear materials. Built to meet the requirements of the PRD market, it expands Kromek's existing range of wearable radiation detectors. The D3 PRD is an all-in-one device with replaceable batteries, which fits into a conventional use model of PRDs. It measures and notifies users of gamma dose while also storing spectral information that can be downloaded and analysed offline by a trained user if required. The new product combines a small form factor (pocket-sized) with a detector substantially larger than that of competitors. It allows users to detect radiation at twice the speed from twice the distance and with greater sensitivity (detecting material at half the strength) than the current state-of-the-art detectors. The built-in screen notifies users of radiation with a high dose accuracy of ±10% and it has an industry-leading ultra-low false alarm rate that is more than six times better than the ANSI standard determined by the US government.
