Radiation Pager®
The Radiation Pager is a radiation detector designed for security forces, customs inspectors, and emergency responders. The Radiation Pager is approximately the size of a message pager and can be worn on a belt or carried in a pocket. When the Radiation Pager detects x-rays or gamma rays at levels above the natural background, the Pager quickly alerts the operator by flashing a high-intensity light and either sounding an alarm or vibrating.
