UDR-13 & UDR-14 SIM
Train in Radiation Threat Detection Without Compromising Safety
Radiation Hazard Detection Simulator
Thanks to a combination of Argon’s wealth of simulation experience and our relationship with Mirion, the look, feel and response of the UDR-13 and UDR-14 radiation training simulators is extremely close to that of actual detectors.
The simulators respond to RADSIM electromagnetic sources that safely simulate ionizing radiation eliminating regulatory, environmental, and health and safety concerns for you and your students.

Key Features
-
Simulated Science: Inverse square law (1/r2) response within real detector tolerance and accurate representation of different shielding effects.
-
Unmatched Realism: Has the same human interface and dose rate alarm settings as the real detector.
-
Comprehensive Training: Optional units of measurement available include Gy/hr, Sv/hr, Rem, and CPM.
-
Cost Effective: Uses the same commercial batteries as real detector and doesn't require regular calibration or maintenance.

High Impact Radiation Training
To ensure the ultimate training experience, all user interface components (display, indicators, switch panel, sounder and vibrator) are exactly the same as the real detector.
Response speed and characteristics when approaching and withdrawing from the simulation source are just like the real detector enabling you to deliver highly realistic source search / find training.
Simulated sensitivity enables the UDR simulators to detect the RADSIM GS4 simulation Gamma source at a free space distance of typically 200 feet (60 metres) line of sight. We even simulate the difference in sensitivity between the UDR13 and UDR14.
No preventative maintenance, calibration or consumables (except batteries) are required ensuring whole life cost of ownership is minimal, expensive damage to real detectors is avoided and operational readiness is maintained.
Consistent, Repeatable Performance
Powerful proprietary signal processing ensures simulated readings are repeatable each time students revisit the same scenario location while also ensuring the readings observed on different simulators are within the accepted tolerances of actual detectors; all contributing to the provision of high quality, realistic training.
Even the effect of user body shielding to determine source position is realistically simulated so you can be certain your survey teams understand how to use and interpret their detector readings and alarms effectively.
Time Distance Shielding
UDR-13 and UDR-14 radiation training simulators enable the importance of time/distance shielding to be taught and demonstrated with ease; the activity of the simulated source realistically reduced depending upon the material between the simulation source and the simulated detector.
Extremely realistic inverse square law response allows the powerful protective combination of distance and shielding to be demonstrated enabling students to practice communication of recommendations and safety procedures without the regulatory, safety, environmental and cost restrictions associated with real sources.
PlumeSIM Compatible
UDR-13 and UDR-14 simulators are compatible with PlumeSIM, Argon’s proven Live Field and Tabletop CBRN exercise system. In use by many of the world’s leading training facilities, PlumeSIM enables real time instrumented wide area tactical field and nuclear / HazMat / Chemical Warfare emergency response exercises to be conducted using single or multiple simulation device types that respond in the real time to simulated hazards.
