Phone: 281-872-0075

Equipment and service for companies/organizations to monitor radioactive material in transit or in a remote location (24/7).  The system allows for command, custody, and control of radioactive assets.  The GPS location, time/date,radiation count (GM tube) , status of source, personnel in charge of source, changing alarm states all available online.  We utilize both/either satellite or GPRS (cellular) communications. 

We also manufacture a bunker system, which allows a company with many sources to check them out , much like a library book.  An approved individual can pull up a source by Ci activity and a utilization report is automatically generated.  The system can tell you when to return a source due to a reduction in activity, by calculating half lives.
