AN/VDR 2 DT616-SIM Radiation Safety Training Simulator

Realistic Radiation Training for Real-World Preparedness

MIRION/ CANBERRA BETA GAMMA PROBE

Radiation Safety Training Simulator Probe

The DT616-SIM is a high-fidelity Beta/Gamma radiation training simulator designed for use with Mirion/Canberra AN/VDR-2, PDR-77, RDS100, and CDV 718 survey meters.

This innovative simulator allows trainees to experience the full operational functionality of the DT616 probe without the need for live radiation sources, ensuring safe, compliant, and practical training for critical radiological scenarios.

Key Features

  • Advanced Simulation Capabilities: Simulates both Beta and Gamma radiation hazards with realistic inverse square law (1/r²) response and shielding effects.

  • Operational Realism: Compatible with Mirion/Canberra meters including AN/VDR-2, PDR-77, and RDS100 with identical functionality and readings as the real DT616 probe.

  • Dynamic Training Scenarios: Supports training for search, reconnaissance, survey, location, and decontamination procedures with encoded signals simulate specific Gamma emitting radionuclides.

  • Instructional Ease: Instructor remote control for simulating partial/full decontamination and probe failure at the push of a button.

Preparing Teams for Radiological Challenges

DT616-SIM permits radiological incident instructors to safely teach critical search, reconnaissance, survey/ location, sentry and decontamination skills as well as a practical understanding of inverse square law, isodoserate mapping, shielding and safe demarcation.

The DT616-SIM receives an encoded signal representing specific gamma emitting radionuclides from deployed electromagnetic simulation sources and also responds to magnetic simulation sources that simulate beta sources for training in contamination, cross contamination and decontamination.

An instructor remote controller (IRC) is provided in order to simulate the effects of partial or complete decontamination when using magnetic simulation sources, or to simulate probe failure.

Take Training to the Next Level

Argon simulation systems enable realistic simultaneous training in the use of different types of radiation detection instruments.

The DT616-SIM works seamlessly with other dosimeter, survey/radiac meter, and spectrometer simulators produced by Argon Electronics, permitting multi-detector, multi-isotope training to take place within the same scenario. You can even optionally include hazardous substance releases including chemical warfare agents to drive HazMat / CW simulation detectors.

The DT616-SIM is also compatible with Argon’s PlumeSIM system,  enabling real time instrumented wide area operational training exercises to be conducted. 

The DT616-SIM is the ultimate tool for delivering safe, realistic, and impactful radiation safety training.
