Seattle-Based Isotron Featured on BBC Evening News and BBC World Program for 'Dirty Bomb' Countermeasure Technologies
Isotron's advanced RADBlock™ technology contains the spread of radiological contaminants and mitigates inhalation hazards associated with nuclear events and "dirty bombs". This advanced polymer coating technology was featured today on a BBC Special Report on dirty bomb response technologies. RADBlock was developed to mitigate against the threat of a dirty bomb and specifically the spread of radioactive material from wind, rain and smearable transport. Smearable and airborne radioactive, chemical and biological contaminants represent a particularly severe threat to emergency workers and civilians in the broad area of a radionuclide dispersion event. In the case of a dirty bomb in particular, while radiation exposure may only threaten those closest to ground zero, contamination threats exist -- according to some simulations -- across a several mile radius from the detonation site, due to the spread of radionuclides by contact and wind. 2007-08-04
