Abstract

The present invention is a device that simulates both a radioactive and/or hazardous chemical source and a radioactivity and/or hazardous chemical detector, to train individuals in the correct use of a real radioactivity and/or hazardous chemical detector. A passive radio identification device (PRID) is used to simulate the hazardous material source.
The PRID includes a tuned circuit, an energy storage capacitor, a transmitter unit, a microcomputer and a magnet. The simulated detector includes a hall effect device to detect the magnet. When the magnet is detected, (when a trainee moves the simulated detector close to the PRID), the simulated detector outputs a 50ms RF burst. The RF pulse resonates the tuned circuit contained within the PRID, and a voltage is developed across the tuned circuit. This voltage charges the energy storage capacitor through a diode. When the capacitor is charged, the microcomputer is activated by the power supplied by the storage capacitor. Once activated, the microcomputer waits for completion of the 50ms pulse, and then activates the transmitter. The transmitter then transmits a signal that identifies the type of contamination to the simulated detector. The transmitter uses the tuned circuit as an antenna.
