AccuRad PRD is a discreet, robust and intuitive gamma radiation detector, developed to meet the needs of security forces, emergency teams and civilians without specialised technical training, and is suitable for both civilian and military use. Designed for critical scenarios and routine operations, it allows for the quick and accurate identification of nuclear and radioactive materials, ensuring reliable measurements at both low and high dose rates. The result of close collaboration with professionals in the field, this is the first device of its kind to combine professional performance with civilian-friendly use, ensuring maximum effectiveness in civilian and military contexts, regardless of the user's experience.

Resistant and reliable, the AccuRad PRD features an impact-proof design, prepared for repeated use in adverse conditions, offering professionals and civilians a reliable and intuitive solution in situations of radiological risk.

Features:

• Rugged and durable: Impact-resistant design for repeated use in harsh conditions.
• Discreet and hands-free: Low-profile with top display for easy, at-a-glance reading.
• Waterproof: Suitable for tough environments, including firefighting.
• Directional accuracy: Built-in directionality to locate hot spots in crowded environments.
• Long battery life: 900 hours of field use with easily replaceable AA batteries.
• High-energy photon measurement: Complies with IEC 60846-1 standard for use near nuclear facilities.
• Low dose rate measurement: Ensures public safety by establishing safe zones.

Be alerted only to genuine threats. The AccuRad PRD uses innovative Variable Background Suppression (VBS) technology, allowing it to function effectively in diverse background environments. It only alarms for genuine threats or dangers.

Get accurate radiation exposure readings. The AccuRad PRD provides precise tissue equivalent dose measurements and dose alarms for radiological events, leveraging Mirion’s extensive radiation safety expertise.

Analyze data in real-time. The companion app offers real-time data visualization and retransmission capabilities, enhancing situational awareness across multiple PRDs and other detectors. Compatible with platforms such as RadResponder, Sigma, and SpirView Mobile™.

The AccuRad PRD is purpose-built to withstand the realities of field operations.
