  Radiation Emergency Response Kit

 

 Introduction

 

Ludlum Model 14C-RK Radiation Emergency Response Kit

●  Ready-to-Go Radiation Emergency Response Kit

●  Measures Alpha, Beta, Gamma Contamination
●  Measures Exposure Rate
●  High-Sensitivity Gamma Probe for Quickly Finding Sources
●  Analog Ratemeter with Internal GM Detector

 

The Ludlum Model 14C-RK Radiation Emergency Response Kit packages all the basic radiation measurement tools you are likely to need to handle a radiological emergency into a convenient carrying case to facilitate a quick response when required. The kit includes Ludlum's robust and versatile Model 14C Radiation Survey Meter, which houses an internal energy compensated GM tube to perform gamma radiation exposure rate measurements up to 2000 mR/hr. Responders can either plug in the external Model 44-9 alpha-beta-gamma radiation GM pancake detector for contamination measurements or the Model 44-2 high-sensitivity gamma radiation scintillator for locating the source of the high readings. The carrying case supplied with the kit is air- and water- tight with cutouts for each device including a 137Cs radioactive check source to verify proper operation of the equipment. Compare with the Model 2241-2RK and Model 2241-3RK Radiation Emergency Response Kits which offer additional capability.
