GAO Tek’s environmental radiation meters have the following functions:

• Measurement and Monitoring: GAO’s environmental radiation meters provide quantitative measurements of radiation levels in the surrounding environment. They display radiation readings in units such as counts per minute (CPM), microsieverts per hour (µSv/h), or milliroentgens per hour (mR/h), depending on the specific model and unit of measurement.
• Data Logging and Recording: Our environmental radiation meters are equipped with data logging capabilities. They can continuously monitor radiation levels over time and record the data at regular intervals. This function enables users to analyze trends, track changes in radiation levels, and generate reports for further analysis or regulatory compliance.
• Environmental Assessment: GAO’s environmental radiation meters are used to assess and evaluate radiation levels in the environment. They are employed in various settings, including nuclear facilities, waste management sites, research institutions, and areas affected by natural disasters or accidents involving radioactive materials.
• Personal Radiation Monitoring: Our environmental radiation meters are used for personal radiation monitoring, particularly by individuals working in radiation-prone environments. They can be worn as personal dosimeters to measure and track an individual's radiation exposure over time.
• Radiation Mapping: Our environmental radiation meters are used for radiation mapping or surveying purposes. Multiple meters are deployed in a systematic manner to collect radiation data from different locations, allowing for the creation of radiation maps to identify radiation hotspots or areas of concern.

GAO Tek’s environmental radiation meters are rugged, versatile and precision measurement instruments. They comply with applicable industry standards such as IEC 61526, IEC 60846, ANSI/HPS N13.6, ASTM E1817, and ISO 4254.

Our environmental radiation meters help our customers comply with relevant U.S. government regulations such as:

• Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulations
• Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulations
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulations.
• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Regulations
• Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulations

Our environmental radiation meters help our clients in complying with relevant Canadian government regulations such as:

• Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC)
• Health Canada
• Radiation Emitting Devices Act (REDA)
• Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB)
• Transport Canada

GAO’s environmental radiation meters have the following applications:

• Environmental Monitoring: Our environmental radiation meters are used in environmental monitoring programs to ensure the accurate measurement of radiation levels in the environment. They help assess potential radiation hazards, identify sources of radiation, and monitor the impact of radioactive materials on ecosystems.
• Nuclear Facilities: GAO’s environmental radiation meters are employed in nuclear facilities to test and calibrate environmental radiation meters used for monitoring radiation levels in and around the facility. They help ensure accurate measurements for radiation safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
• Radioactive Waste Management: Our environmental radiation meters are used in the management of radioactive waste. They are used to test and verify the performance of radiation meters used for monitoring radiation levels in waste storage facilities, ensuring safe handling and storage of radioactive materials.
• Research and Studies: Our environmental radiation meters find applications in research institutions and laboratories conducting studies on environmental radiation. They are used to test and calibrate radiation meters for research purposes, including studying the impact of radiation on ecosystems, assessing background radiation levels, and investigating radiation-related phenomena.
• Occupational Health and Safety: GAO’s environmental radiation meters are utilized in occupational health and safety programs to verify the accuracy of radiation meters used for monitoring radiation exposure in workplaces. They ensure that the meters provide reliable measurements for assessing and managing radiation risks to workers.

Our environmental radiation meters can be shipped overnight within the continental U.S. and Canada, and can be shipped globally.
