RADSIM 44-9-SIM Radiation Safety Training Probe Simulator

Safe and Realistic Radiation Safety Training Without Radioactive Materials

LUDLUM 44-9 GM PANCAKE PROBE

Radiation Hazard Detection Simulator

The RADSIM 44-9-SIM is a cutting-edge simulation probe designed for use with Ludlum’s 44-9 GM pancake-type detector.

This versatile training system offers a realistic alternative to traditional methods, eliminating the need for ionising radiation sources while delivering high-fidelity functionality for instructors and students alike.

Ludlum 44-9

Key Features

  • Accurate Simulation: Replicates the functionality of Ludlum’s 44-9 GM pancake-type detector, responding to safe magnetic sources simulating short-range Alpha and Beta radiation.

  • Adaptable Training Design: Compatible with an extensive range of Ludlum survey meters, rate meters, and scalers. Includes an Instructor Remote Controller (IRC) for managing partial or full decontamination and probe functionality scenarios.

  • Integrated Training Capabilities: Offers virtual Alpha, Beta, and Gamma simulation when used with Argon’s Plume SIM system. Enables simultaneous, multi-detector, and multi-isotope training scenarios.

Safety Without Compromise

44-9-SIM permits radiological incident instructors to safely teach survey/location and decontamination skills. The 44-9-SIM responds to deployed magnetic simulation sources that simulate short range alpha or beta radiation for training in contamination, cross-contamination and decontamination, and virtual alpha, beta, and gamma simulation when used with PlumeSIM.

The instructor remote controller can simulate the effects of partial or complete decontamination when using magnetic simulation sources, or to simulate probe failure.

Enhanced Training Versatility

Argon simulation systems enable realistic simultaneous training in the use of different types of radiation hazard detection instruments. The 44-9-SIM system is compatible with other dosimeter, survey/radiac meter, and spectrometer simulators manufactured 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.

Cost Effective & Realistic Scenarios

44-9-SIM probes are powered by two user-replaceable AA alkaline batteries. The simulators require no preventative maintenance or recalibration, reducing the cost of ownership. Expensive damage to real detectors is avoided which means operational readiness is maintained.

PlumeSIM Compatibility for Tactical Training

The RADSIM 44-9-SIM is fully compatible with Argon’s Plume SIM system, allowing for real-time, instrumented wide-area tactical field exercises. Trainees can engage in diverse scenarios simulating radiation and chemical hazard releases, enhancing their readiness for real-world emergencies.
