Operations
General Description

Nuke Safeguard is specially designed for public nuclear safety concerns.

It is a nuclear radiation alert device for detecting radiation and radioactive


materials nearby. This high performance and high sensitivity miniature
radiation trigger device protects people from radiation exposures.
This device uses flashing green LED as a radiation intensity indication and
flashing red LED and/or audible alarm as warning signals.

Slide power switch to I position to turn unit on, three LEDs,


green, red and yellow, should blink, and it is ready for use.
Slide alarm switch to I position for turning alarm on.
Unit with trimmer the threshold can be adjusted as follows:

a) Put the unit in a known radiation


field.
b) Adjust potentiometer until the red
LED just flashes. The unit
threshold is set and ready for use.
Note: Turn trimmer clockwise for
lowering threshold

Battery Replacement
Remove two screws from the cover.
Slide the battery out
Push in a new CR2032 lithium battery
Put cover and screws back (do not force)
The unit is ready for use

Detection Range
With 20 keV to 10 MeV detection range capability, it detects both low energy
emission radionuclides such as I-125 & Pd-103 commonly used in nuclear
medicine and radiation therapy in hospitals, and high energy ones such as Cs137, Co-60, Ir-192, I-131, U-235, & Ra-226. It also detects high- energy beta
emitters: Y-90 & P-32. Such radionuclides are possible for use in a dirty bomb.

It is capable of detecting very small amounts of radioactive materials within a


reasonable distance, e.g., Green LED flashes approx. every 5 seconds at
