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 has signed an
agreement for radiation detection distribution in Japan. Precision
Technologies PTD, will give UNDT an on the ground marketing
presence in Japan.
Concerns over food contaminated by radiation from areas
surrounding the troubled nuclear plant in Fukushima spread beyond
Japan's borders on Monday morning, with world health officials
warning of the potential dangers posed by the tainted food.
World Health Organization officials told reporters Monday that
Japan should act quickly to ban food sales from areas around the
damaged nuclear plant, saying radiation in food is more dangerous
than radioactive particles in the air because of accumulation in
the human body.
"Walking outside for a day and eating food repeatedly are two
different things. This is why they're going to have to take some
decisions quickly in Japan to shut down and stop food being used
completely from zones which they feel might be affected," WHO
spokesman Gregory Hartl said, according to the Associated
Press.
Universal Detection Technology supplies nuclear detection and
monitoring systems that include electronic dosimetry and
teledosimetry devices. In addition to electronic dosimetry and
teledosimetry, other best-in-breed solutions include contamination
and clearance applications, personnel and vehicle/cargo gateway
monitors and portable survey meters. The Company also provides
innovative passive dosimetry systems for measurement of cumulative
radiation exposures. UNDT's dosimeters can be used by both
professionals and non-trained personnel, as they are passive
devices. Product Lines Include:
- Active Dosimetry, Teledosimetry and Portable Instruments
- Contamination and Clearance
- Passive Dosimetry Systems
"Through our agreement with Precision Technologies we can
directly market our radiation detection products to individuals and
agencies in Japan and help in protecting people from radiation
exposure as soon as possible," said Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chairman
and CEO.
