RadWatch Dosimeter RadLight Reader Deploy a portable, field-ready option for tactical radiation monitoring

LANDAUER has developed the latest in tactical/field radiation monitoring technology RadWatch ready-to-wear dosimeters are designed to offer superior performance to enhance accurate monitoring of radiological incidents and threats in the field. Employing robust optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology, the RadWatch features redundant dose assessment capabilities. It is designed to be read out on the RadLight Reader; both are engineered to withstand combat and other extreme environmental conditions experienced by firefighters and emergency responders.

Operating Principles RadWatch assesses the absorbed dose to tissue (cGy) from neutrons and photons utilizing a primary detector comprised of three Al2O3:C OSL discs of crystalline powder coated on a clear plastic film. Each disc in the sensor is enveloped by a specific filter assembly: • Filter 1 indicates photon energy • Filter 2 assesses doses due to photons • Filter 3 assesses doses due to neutrons The three filter assemblies are contained in a slide on the watch base, protected by the watch cover until inserted into the RadLight Reader, which automatically positions the slide over the photo-optical...

• Push-button start powers on the unit, initiating a startup protocol that correctly positions the slide puller. • Visual cues ensure proper orientation when watch is placed in the drawer. • When drawer is pushed in, reader automatically removes the slide from the watch base and positions each sensor to be read. • Integrated screen displays key identification information, along with the total radiation dose and analytical results (photon and neutron dose), which are also written to the RadWatch RFID chip. The portable RadLight reader weighs five pounds with batteries and is made out of high-impact...

OSL Benefits Landauer’s proprietary aluminum oxide Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) technology offers many key advantages to those using the RadWatch in field conditions. The technology is designed to withstand the most severe conditions and maintain its integrity in any environment. The RadWatch dosimeter can be re-read numerous times while maintaining total cumulative dose, which saves both time and resources. There is also no risk of fade, allowing the dosimeters to be worn for longer periods of time while maintaining accuracy and efficiency. BENEFITS ADVANTAGE Non-destructive readout...
