Homeland Security: First Responders

First Responders are always at critical risk. Knowing the potential risk of encountering radioactive, chemical, and/or biological hazards Technical Associates, a division of US Nuclear Corp, developed a suite of portable, rapid deployment sensors. Hand-held, vehicle mounted, or drone mounted instruments provide first alert status of any contamination prior to entering a hazard area.
