Reliable Pocket Dosimeters for Personal Radiation Safety Monitoring

Radiation Detection Measure delivers pen dosimeter solutions with digital accuracy, robust design, and seamless integration for B2B clients

Pocket Dosimeter (Pen Dosimeter) Technology Overview

Pocket dosimeters, also known as pen dosimeters, are compact, portable devices designed to measure an individual’s cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation in real time. These instruments are essential for professionals working in environments where radiation is present, such as nuclear power plants, medical facilities, research labs, and emergency response teams. By providing immediate feedback on dose levels, pocket dosimeters help ensure worker safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency.

Radiation Detection Measure supports B2B clients throughout North America with advanced pocket dosimeter solutions that combine accuracy, durability, and ease of use. Our products are engineered to meet the demands of modern workplaces, offering reliable performance in both routine and emergency scenarios. Through ongoing innovation, strict quality assurance, and expert support, we help organizations protect their teams and streamline radiation safety protocols.

Case Studies

A leading U.S. nuclear power facility implemented Radiation Detection Measure’s pocket dosimeter systems to enhance personal radiation monitoring for all on-site staff. The digital dosimeters provided real-time dose readings and automatic alerts, helping the facility maintain strict NRC compliance and improve worker safety culture. Integration with the facility’s health and safety software enabled seamless recordkeeping and audit readiness.

A major U.S. hospital equipped its radiology department with Radiation Detection Measure’s pen dosimeters to monitor cumulative staff exposure. The devices’ user-friendly design and cloud-based data management allowed supervisors to track dose histories, set custom alarms, and ensure compliance with both hospital policy and federal regulations. The result was improved safety and streamlined reporting for accreditation.

A Canadian environmental agency deployed Radiation Detection Measure’s pocket dosimeters for field teams conducting radiological surveys near decommissioned industrial sites. The rugged, water-resistant design and long battery life enabled reliable operation in remote locations. Cloud integration allowed supervisors to monitor exposure in real time and maintain comprehensive records for Health Canada compliance.
