Radiation tech specialist Kromek said it expects to see half year revenues rise 45% after sealing a $1.3m deal for its wearable ‘dirty bomb’ detectors.
The Sedgefield-based business is behind the D3M personal radiation detector that helps guard against the threat of nuclear terrorism and the illicit movement of nuclear materials. The hands-free wearable device continuously scans for radiation and has a six-times lower false alarm rate than the standard of the American National Standards Institute.
Since being developed by the NETPark business Kromek has secured a number of orders, and this latest deal is a repeat order with a US customer, with Kromek having now delivered D3M orders worth $2.6m to the same customer in the last six months.
