How useful is the Gamma-Scout® against a nuclear accident or terrorist attack?
Even though the Gamma-Scout® was originally conceived before 9/11, its features and refinements have been optimized for protection against these threats. In a likely terrorist scenario, unless you’re at ground zero, your exposure will probably be at relatively low, but gradually rising levels, and may not appear in your immediate environment for several days. The Gamma-Scout® can detect changes in ambient radiation levels with precision below 1%. Drifting radioactive material can settle on and inside your house, contaminate your food or water. With Gamma-Scout® you don’t have to check radiation levels every day. The built in buffer memory allows you to download accumulated measurement data into your PC to display even minor changes in radiation levels for up to a year. And our audio alert function can be set to trigger an alert tone at any user-prgrammable radiation level.
