Safe-PocketSource
STS Safe-Pocket Source Simulated Radiation Source
The STS Safe-PocketSource simulator is a simulated radiation source designed to aid the tuition of workers in the nuclear industry in safe practices and in understanding the nature and mechanics of ionising radiation.
-
Key Features
- Instrument operates using an STS radio frequency emitter to generate a field which can be detected by any of the Safe-Series monitors and postal detectors with the resultant reading displayed on the LCD Display of the instrument.
- Designed to be easily hidden and features a single button to turn the source on/off and a led to indicate battery low.
- A simulated radiation field generator which will generate a near isotropic field pattern providing a field of approx 15M in all directions.
- Features a single “isotope” which recreates the characteristics of the isotope in terms of its beta/gamma generation at a set activity level.
- Runs off 2 standard AAA cells giving an operation time of over 10hrs.
- Source is particularly suitable for using in covert training exercises, with the STS portal Simulation system and for lost source recovery drills. The Safe-Series of instruments offer the perfect solution for CBRN Training, Hazmat Training and Homeland Security Training.
- Simple intuitive controls, competitive pricing and low ongoing cost of ownership.

Additional information
- The STS Safe-PocketSource is not designed to be intrinsically safe and therefore should not be used in hazardous environments.
- The units are not waterproof and contain delicate and sensitive electronics which may be caused to fail if exposed to moisture.
- Units should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
- Batteries should be removed if storing for more than 4 weeks.
- Instrument response will be affected by environmental conditions such as the presence of large reflective surfaces, substantial metal structures and variable wall thicknesses.
