OEN Enterprises supplies radiation monitors for Angolan customs officials

January 2014 News

The OEN Enterprises’ section representing Thermo Scientific radiation detection instrumentation recently supplied radiation monitors to the Angolan customs department to help detect radioactive material at entry points. The order included Thermo Scientific interceptors, personal dosimeters and sensitive radiation detectors.

Thermo Scientific’s EPD Mk2.5 Electronic Personal Dosimeter alerts personnel of potentially dangerous ionising radiation when working in radioactive areas. Together with its range of software solutions, the EPD Mk2.5 is suitable for all dosimeter applications. Easy to use, the unit, together with its advanced radiological performance and multi-detector technology, provides an excellent response to gamma, beta and x-radiation.

Orphan source radiation is a dangerous global phenomenon as traces of radiation sources show up unexpectedly in scrap yards, border crossings, or numerous other public locations and can be considered a significant potential threat. The RadEye PRD can be used by persons responsible for detecting and localising radiation sources. Its characteristic features are the use of sophisticated low-power technology components together with a sensitive sodium iodide crystal detector.
