Simulated Radiation Training Meters
Training without real sources
Simulated Radiation Meters and Dosimeters allow trainees to experience radiation monitoring and detection exercises with zero real exposure. Instruments are either built from real monitors or are manufactured entirely by STS.
Contamination Simulators
Simulated Contamination Monitors, Probes & Sources.
Simulated Monitors for contamination surveys, cross contamination prevention and decontamination.
The range includes:
• Handheld all in one meters ie: RamGene 1 MKII
• Smart Probes to connect to real instrument – ie: Smart DP6 for RadEye SX
• Converted Meters with external probes ie: Ludlum 3 & HP260
• Desk top digital Meters – ie: Contamination Trainer
• Wall Mounted Meters – ie: Contamination Monitor Simulator
• Solid and Liquid simulants

Radiation Simulators
Simulated Survey Meters, Dosimeters & Sources.
Simulated meters and dosimeters for Radiation Field Monitoring.
The range includes:
• Survey Meters – both generic and based on real instruments
• Dosimeters – a generic EPD based on the Thermo EPD MKII
• Portal Simulation – a system of detector, alarm beacon and sounder to
replicate a portal monitor.
• Sources – Radiofrequency sources in either manual or remote control formats
• Gamma Probes – handheld and tele-pole mountable simulated probes

How can you simulate radioactive contamination?a non toxic simulant such as LS1 from Safe Training Systems can be applied to a surface where it will slowly evaporate leaving a small gas cloud, a modified contamination meter can then be used to detect this apparent radiation causing the meter to display counts as if seeing real radiation.
-
What is the range of a radiation simulator?Radiation field simulation is based on the use of a radiofrequency source and detector – the limitation to the range is the available power of the transmitter which in the case of the mini-Source range from STS is approx. 15m.
-
Can radiation simulators demonstrate shielding attenuation?The radio frequency system used by STS will be attenuated by various materials to varying degrees, glass and thin wood will have a small effect whilst brickwork or concrete walls will cause much higher attenuation and metal will shield the source entirely.
-
Can you simulate inverse square law with a simulator?Inverse square law can be demonstrated used the STS radiation field simulation systems – these operate using radio waves which like ionising radiation have an inverse square response.
-
Do radiation simulants have a shelf life?Liquid (LS1) and solid (SS4) simulants from STS have a shelf life of 5 years from date of manufacture.
