    Description

    RDS-80

    Mirion Technologies

    The Mirion RDS-80 Surface Contamination Meter is a highly versatile handheld radiation detection device designed for rapid surface contamination assessments in environments where radioactive particles may pose a health risk. Engineered for accuracy and portability, it’s ideal for use in the nuclear industry, emergency response, hazmat operations, and decontamination work.

    This digital pulse rate meter detects surface contamination on personnel, equipment, and objects, and automatically converts readings to surface activity values. Its built-in alarm functions notify users of abnormal contamination levels instantly, enabling quicker decision-making and safer response.
