1. What are the possible uses for the Micro Bomb Detector?
The Micro Bomb Detector is a 24/7 personal protection, threat detection device. It is not limited to the detection of dirty bombs. There is an increasing concern over "orphan" sources: lost or undocumented sources that could be used for malicious purposes. The Micro Bomb Detector is always working so an officer will be immediately alerted to the presence of a hazardous source that is potentially causing physical harm.

2. Can the MBD be used inside a moving vehicle?
Yes. The Micro Bomb Detector works well inside a law enforcement vehicle. The detection sensitivity of the Micro Bomb Detector inside a moving vehicle depends on a multitude of factors:

• The amount of shielding
• The speed at which the source is moving relative to the MBD
  

3. Is the MBD a "one time" use?
No. The Micro Bomb Detector will continue to function within specifications after being exposed to radiation. The Micro Bomb Detector contains a real-time alerting mechanism so that the officer can find a safe place to move away from the radioactive isotope or dirty bomb.

4. Does the MBD have an ON/OFF button?
No. The Micro Bomb Detector cannot be turned off. The Micro Bomb Detector was designed to virtually eliminate any possible human error. If a police officer approaches a dangerous radioactive isotope then the Micro Bomb Detector will sound an alarm.

5. What alarms systems do the MBD have built in?
The Micro Bomb Detector will flash a bright light and sound a buzzer to alert an officer.

6. Is the MBD waterproof?
It is rainproof - You can't go swimming with it.

7. Will the MBD ignite a dirty bomb?
Unlike other radiation detection equipment, the Micro Bomb Detector does not internally generate high voltages for it's sensors. The maximum potential inside the Micro Bomb Detector is 3V and it draws less than 100uA most of the time. The Micro Bomb Detector does not create any sparks or RF that could ignite a bomb.

8. Can the MBD be used around X-ray package/ vehicle scanning equipment?
The MBD is tuned to ignore artificial radioactive sources like package scanners. The Micro Bomb Detector can be used around and near package scanning equipment without the hassles of false alarms.
