Do not send until talking with us first. These same-type Civil Defense survey meters and dosimeters are decades long field proven accurate and reliable, and still in current use by thousands of Fire Depts, Haz-Mat and First Responders across the country. We daily have federal and state agencies and municipalities shipping us their Civil Defense instruments to be re-calibrated, as well as from the general public. We highly recommend to any that own a CD instrument that they both have it be recently certified calibrated, at least every 4-6 years if sitting sealed up quietly on a shelf, and learn how to properly use it. 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 or read it on-line for free here. - Successfully calibrated instruments are returned 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 ranges available on the instrument is included. 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 conforming to the standards as set forth by the State of Texas, FEMA, ASTM and the NRC. KI4U, Inc. is the only private, non-government, lab that specializes in calibrating all these high-range Civil Defense instruments. We utilize the original 'Dept. of the Army - Office of Civil Defense' CD V-794, N.I.S.T. Traceable Cs-137 (Cesium) calibrators that were specifically designed for properly calibrating these Civil Defense meters and dosimeters. (The Geiger Counter based instruments, such as the CD V-700's, are tested and calibrated here with other certified sources.) Jig for Remote Range Switching & Adjustments (Jig-ready testing bottom case is used in-place of regular meter case.) Test Meter in Exposure Chamber with Flex Cable (Range Selector) and Jig Fixture (Range Adjustment) Connected Calibrator Remote Range Adjustment Tuning Knobs (top to bottom: X0.1, X1, X10, X100) At our lab here in Gonzales, Texas, with the team of trained & certified technicians... ...we evaluate, repair, and perform the certified lab calibrations on these Civil Defense instruments. 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.
