Radiation Safety Training Simulation Probes
The RDS-100-SIM 3-Probe simulator set offers a cutting-edge training system that replicates the operational features of an operational Canberra RDS-100, AN/PDR-77, and CDV 718 probes.
Designed to simulate Alpha, Beta, and Gamma radiation without the need for real radioactive sources, this system provides a safe, practical, and environmentally friendly solution for mastering radiation safety skills.
Key Features
-
BG-SIM-P: Simulates the Beta/Gamma probe, compatible with the RDS-100, AN/PDR-77, and M-243/VDR-2 meters.
-
A-SIM-P: Simulates the Alpha probe for contamination and decontamination training.
-
B-SIM-P: Simulates the Beta probe for Pancake detector functions
Radiation Safety Training with Argon Simulation Probes
You can safely teach critical search, reconnaissance, sentry, survey/ location and decontamination skills as well as a practical understanding of inverse square law, isodoserate mapping, shielding and safe demarcation.
The BG-SIM-P receives an encoded signal representing specific gamma emitting radionuclides from deployed electromagnetic simulation sources that very realistically provide simulation of inverse square law and shielding, it also responds to magnetic simulation sources that simulate beta sources for training in contamination, cross-contamination and decontamination.
The A-SIM-P and B-SIM-P utilise the safe magnetic simulation sources. 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.
Multi-Device Compatibility
Argon simulation systems enable realistic simultaneous training in the use of different types of radiation detection instruments. The system is compatible with other dosimeter and survey/radiac meter 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.
The Beta Gamma sim probe is compatible with Argon’s PlumeSIM system. PlumeSIM enables real time instrumented wide area operational training exercises to be conducted using single or multiple simulation device types that respond in the real world to multiple virtual radiation or chemical hazard release events.
Why Choose the RDS-100-SIM 3-Probe System?
The simulation probes are powered by the real radiac meters to which they are connected, require no preventative maintenance or recalibration therefore reducing the cost of ownership. Expensive damage to real detectors is avoided which means operational readiness is maintained and no need for expensive training sources or associated safety staff!
They also remove the need for live sources, ensuring regulatory and environmental safety and enabling training in urban, field, and public building environments.
