Consumer K8 Nuke Ratemeter

The high performance and high sensitivity miniature radiation trigger device protects people from radiation exposures. 

The K8 is a small discreet ratemeter for detecting radiation and radioactive materials near by protection people from radiation exposure.  The Nuke Safeguard Miniature Alarming Ratemeter are all tested using an NIST traceable radiation source.  Idea for individuals, airport checkpoint guards and baggage handlers, polits and flight attendants, police and firefighter, coast guard, border patrols, military, hospital workers, package and couier services, custom and cargo inspectors.
