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 it expects to begin the shipment of radiological
detection devices to both domestic and Japanese customers based on
confirmed purchase orders. The orders include a variety of
radiation detection devices such as personal dosimeters, survey
meters and surface monitors.
The confirmed orders include orders for the Company's dosimeter
systems such as the SOR/T and SOR/RF dosimeters used for
measurement of cumulative radiation exposures and the company's
advanced survey meters and surface monitors such as the PDS-100 GN
and RDS-80A used in detection on contamination on surfaces and in
particular food and water. These detectors have a price range from
$450.00 to $2,800.00 per unit.
The owners of the Fukushima Daiichi plant said on Sunday, in
their first public timetable for ending the crisis that engineers
will need six to nine months to bring the damaged nuclear reactors
at the power plant under control.
It will take three months to reduce the levels of radioactivity
in the plant and restore normal cooling systems in the reactors and
spent fuel pools, the Tokyo Electric Power Company announced.
Another three to six months will be needed before the reactors are
fully shut down and new shells are built around their damaged
housings, the company said.
Meanwhile, Japan's government said it would try to decontaminate
"the widest possible area" in that period before deciding whether
the tens of thousands who have been forced to flee their homes will
be allowed to return, said Goshi Hosono, an adviser to Japanese
Prime Minister Naoto Kan.
"As we expect to ship radiation detection devices to the
domestic and Japanese markets later this month, we continue to see
increased interest in our products from a variety of individual and
institutional consumers in Japan, and here in the United States,"
said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chairman and CEO. "As the nuclear
crisis continues, we have noticed a higher level of interest in the
more sophisticated meters of which we have more access to
inventory, and not just the basic personal dosimeters. Based on the
interest level at the present time, we expect to see an increase in
orders for our more sophisticated survey meters designed for
detecting radiation on surfaces in particular in food and water,"
he added.
