NeutronRae II is the first personal radiation detector (PRD) to provide rapid detection of both gamma (y) ray and neutron sources even in potentially flammable environments. Certified intrinsically safe and water immersible for chemical decontamination purposes, the NeutronRae II can be safely used in more environments than any other PRD. and neutron radiation detector
Fast Response - The sensitive Cesium Iodide (CSi) scintillator of the NeutronRae II provides a fast, two second response to radiological threats.
Loud Alarm - NeutronRae II alerts the wearer with a loud 85 + dB audible alarm, big bright flashing LEDs and a vibration alarm. For stealth operations, law enforcement personnel can disable each alarm individually.
Water Resistant - Immersible (IP67) design makes for reliable operation in wet environments and easy decontamination.
Dosage Accumulation - The NeutronRae II accumulates approximate dosage. Dosage data stored can be cumulative or cleared and reset for each use period.
Intrinsic Safety - IS Certification permits operation in potentially flammable/explosive environments.
