Either hand-held or personal, ionising radiation monitors measure this type of energy, which is released by atoms that travel in the form of electromagnetic waves (gamma or X-rays) or particles (neutrons or beta)
Exposure can occur internally (when radioactive material is inhaled, ingested or otherwise enters the bloodstream) or externally (when radioactive material is deposited on skin or clothes). Health effects will depend on the dosage received, the type of radiation and the sensitivity of the tissue or organs in question.
AES supplies a wide range of ionising radiation detectors to help your workers keep an eye on their level of exposure.
The Identifinder is an easy-to-use, hand-held instrument that allows users to quickly detect, locate and identify radiation sources. The DoseRAE 2 is a portable monitor that detects and measures radiation exposure for workers on the go. The GammaRAE 2 features a highly sensitive scintillator sensor to detect low-level radiation. And the NeutronRAE 2 detects and measures potential gamma and neutron radiation from weapons-grade plutonium sources.
