How do you train for radiation detection without radiation? Kromek has the answer

NETPark-based technology company Kromek Group plc has collaborated with Argon Electronics to develop a new training simulator for its advanced D5 RIID radiation detector.

The simulator allows operators to carry out realistic radiological search exercises without the need for live radioactive sources, making training safer while still delivering highly accurate scenarios.

Using patented RaFTS spectrometry simulation technology from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the system temporarily converts the D5 RIID from an operational device into a training tool.

The D5 RIID is Kromek’s most advanced handheld radiation detector, designed to detect and identify mixed, shielded and heavily obscured radioactive materials, including naturally occurring radioactive sources as well as industrial, medical and special nuclear materials.
