STS Safe-MiniSource (variable)
The STS Safe-Pocket Source (variable) is a simulated radiation source for use with the
Survey-Safe, Safe-EPD & Dosi-Safe range of instruments.
The Safe-Pocket Source (variable) is a variable activity source with a near isotropic field
pattern, its small size makes it easily hidden for carrying out training such as lost source
recovery.

Additional Information
The STS Safe-PocketSource is not designed to be intrinsically safe and therefore should not
be used in hazardous environments. The units are not waterproof and contain delicate and
sensitive electronics which may be caused to fail if exposed to moisture. Units should be
stored in a clean and dry environment, batteries should be removed if storing for more than
4 weeks.
Instrument response will be affected by environmental conditions such as the presence of
large reflective surfaces, substantial metal structures and variable wall thicknesses.
