These same-type FEMA Civil Defense survey meters and dosimeters, listed above, are decades long field proven accurate and reliable, and are in current use by thousands of Fire Depts, Haz-Mat teams and First Responders across the country. More detailed information on all these radiation detection and monitoring instruments can be seen at the FEMA Civil Defense Rad Meters, Geiger Counters and Dosimeters FAQ. FEMA recommends that CD instruments be certified calibrated, at least every 4-6 years if sitting sealed up quietly on a shelf since last calibrated, and as often as every six months if used daily or bouncing around in a vehicle, same as nuke plants where they are required to calibrate them every six months. It's also vitally essential to learn how to properly use your CD instrument to then fully utilize its capabilities and what it can reveal to you. The best reference is the FEMA 'RADIATION SAFETY IN SHELTERS' 120 page handbook. It is the premier instructional resource for the practical field use of these specific Civil Defense instruments calibrated here and sold on our site, in a for-real nuclear emergency. Subtitled: "A handbook for finding and providing the best protection in shelters with the use of instruments for detecting nuclear radiation." This practical manual goes far beyond the limited coverage included in the brief manuals that come with the FEMA Civil Defense survey meters and dosimeters. This is a must-have for anyone with CD instruments. Buy a hard copy to store with your meter and/or read it on-line for free here. Also, You will likely find essential the family nuke prep instructions in our FREE guide What To Do If A Nuclear Disaster Is Imminent! Finally, See what was voted & ranked #1 at DHS & FEMA National Dialogue on Preparedness. We've successfully calibrated and certified over 25,000 of the 100,000+ Civil Defense meters and dosimeters shipped to us from the FEMA Federal Depot located here in Texas. And, countless thousands more from state and municipal emergency response agencies and individuals who have sent theirs to our lab for calibration certification since 9/11/01. (Calibrated CD Meters for sale here.) What we've learned in the process, shared below, should be eagerly embraced by anybody considering buying even just one unit to use as a serious radiation detection instrument in a future radiation disaster or looming nuclear crisis. (Of course, if you are only wanting one as a 'cold war relic' conversational piece for the mantle, or as a doorstop, you can disregard calibrating your meter and simply shop for the cheapest and neatest looking available.) Typically, amongst surplus Civil Defense meters the public might attain from various sources, we see only about 65% that are functioning sufficiently enough to even have calibration attempted on them without repair work first. While many of these meters actually do pass the basic 'circuit check' test, they often still require essential repair work before calibrating. Also, without exception, all surplus Civil Defense meters, whether they needed some repair work first or not before attempting to be calibrated, still had to have that calibration adjustment and fine-tuning to bring them back into even the minimum required accuracy specified to be certified. IF you are acquiring one for possible personal use in a future nuclear emergency, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT IT BE RECENTLY CALIBRATED & CERTIFIED ACCURATE! More detailed information why this is so important can be explored here at the FEMA Civil Defense Rad Meters, Geiger Counters and Dosimeters FAQ. * Successfully calibrated instruments are returned to you with a label affixed to them certifying their calibration and stating who calibrated it and when, along with the serial number and model designation. * Additionally, a Certificate of Calibration with the actual before and after accuracy responses for each of the different radiation ranges available on the instrument is included. If the meter or dosimeter is un-calibratable for any reason, we'll still require 1/2 of the calibration fee payment for the attempt and to ship back. However, if we determine that the problem is likely a readily repairable issue we'll contact you with an estimate to repair, for you to then decide if we should proceed with the repair of the unit and attempt calibration again. More details about our calibration services, including for dosimeters, too, are here http://www.radmeters4u.com/calibrate.htm. KI4U, Inc. is licensed and authorized by the State of Texas (Bureau of Radiation Control License No. L05515) to perform these calibrations at our lab here in Gonzales, Texas conforming to the standards as set forth by the State of Texas, FEMA, ASTM and the NRC. We are the only non-government lab in the nation that specializes in calibrating all these Civil Defense instruments and we utilize the original 'Dept. of the Army - Office of Civil Defense' CD V-794 calibrators. We have three of these N.I.S.T. Traceable Cs-137 (Cesium) calibrators that were specifically designed for properly calibrating these Civil Defense meters and dosimeters. (The low-range Geiger Counter based instruments, such as the CD V-700's, are tested, calibrated and certified here with yet another certified Cesium radiation source.) Our full-time RSO (Radiation Safety Officier) and lab director here, has served as an RSO on three separate licenses. He began his career in the mid-sixties at Oak Ridge National Labs and subsequently served at both Los Alamos National Laboratory and PanTex Nuclear Weapons Plant facility, as well as numerous nuclear power plants. He was a consultant to the Safeguards Program focused on developing the anti-terrorism strategies for nuclear facilities in the US. He was also the Chairman of the Nuclear Technology Program at a southern university for seven years and is the author of five books on the subject. Also, while at the Texas Bureau of Radiation Control, he not only repaired, maintained and calibrated these same FEMA Civil Defense instruments, but was a certified instructor in the proper use of them in a nuclear emergency.
