GET IN NOW NEW PR COMING!!!! March 8, 2012 - Marketwire - Universal Detection Technology Unveils the Smartphone Application for Its RadSmart Radiation Detection Device - Universal Detection Technology (www.udetection.com) (OTCBB: UNDT), a developer of early-warning monitoring technologies that protect against biological, chemical, and radiological threats, announced today that that it has unveiled the first generation smartphone application for its RadSmart Device. The RadSmart is designed to detect radiation levels on surfaces and in food and to automatically send the collected data to a smartphone. RadSmart is being developed in collaboration with Honeywell India (a unit of Honeywell International) and marketed by UNDT, under its brand. RadSmart will utilize a Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator for the detection of Gamma rays. (CsI) scintillators are the most sensitive detection mechanisms for detecting Gamma radiation. RadSmart will be sensitive enough to measure normal radiation levels to 100 to 200 times that intensity. With the planned detection range of 0.001 to 9.999 µSv/h the device is expected to be capable of detecting traces of radiation on surfaces, clothing and, in particular, food contamination. The smartphone application will give the user the ability to choose to utilize the device for detecting contamination in food or on surfaces, log the readings and share the accumulated readings with other users and databases through its social networking features. The application has been designed with the everyday user in mind with easily navigable menu options and options for sharing the data through Facebook, Twitter and radiation mapping databases.
March 13, 2012 - Reuters - Older nuclear plants pose safety challenge: IAEA - Eighty per cent of the world's nuclear power plants are more than 20 years old, raising safety concerns, a draft United Nations (UN) report says a year after Japan's Fukushima disaster. Many operators have begun programmes, or expressed their intention, to run reactors beyond their planned design lifetimes, said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) document which has not yet been made public. 'There are growing expectations that older nuclear reactors should meet enhanced safety objectives, closer to that of recent or future reactor designs,' the Vienna-based UN agency's annual Nuclear Safety Review said. 'There is a concern about the ability of the ageing nuclear fleet to fulfil these expectations.' The Fukushima tragedy was triggered on March 11, 2011, when an earthquake unleashed a tsunami that left 19,000 people dead or missing. It also smashed into the coastal power plant causing a series of catastrophic failures at the facility
