TA - Model MEDA-SP -RAD Safety Water Monitor

• Quick check of questionable water
• Two separate detectors
• Submersible Gamma Detector
• T-1190 Alpha, Beta, Gamma Detector
• Lightweight – fits in briefcase

• Roadside Chemical Spill
• Industrial Accident
• Terrorist Water Poisoning
• Dumping of Medical/Industrial Waste

• Use MEDA-SP Anywhere

• Gamma emitters, submersible sensor probes for reservoir, stream or sump.
• Alpha & Beta emitters in water samples
• Quick determination of water contamination
• Easy detection of surface contamination-Alpha, Beta, Gamma; hands, boots, clothing and equipment
• Identify personnel needing decontamination
• Search out stored radioactive materials or dirty bombs using Gamma probe

Arrive at location of accident or attack

• Submerge Gamma sensor into reservoir, stream or sump.
• Increasing count rate indicates contamination by Gamma emitters.

Use PAN-AL (disposable Planchet)

• Place sample of suspect water in evaporator (EVAP-SP) for one minute
• Place sample under built-in pancake detector on bottom of ratemeter
• Increased count rate indicates contamination with Alpha or Beta emitters

To Separate Alphas, Betas, and Gammas

• Built-in sliding beta filter is standard
• Alpha filter is optional

If count rate exceeds 2 times background, water is not safe.

• Use built-in pancake GM detector on bottom of ratemeter to check people, clothing and objects for surface contamination.
• If count rate exceeds 2 times background, the person should take off the contaminated clothing.
• If count rate continues to exceed 2 times the background, hose them down and measure again.
• Gamma probe count rate will increase as you approach a cache of radioactive materials. Knowing this you can search a car or check-out suspicious objects.
