Mirion Technologies to Provide Dosimetry System to Swedish Rescue Service

SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
The Mirion Technologies Health Physics Division announced it has received an
order to supply a passive dosimetry system based upon Mirion`s patented Direct
Ion Storage (DIS) technology to the Swedish Rescue Service Agency, which has
been recently consolidated under the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency. The
system, which includes DIS-1 personal dosimeter badges and the DBR-1 dosimeter
readers, will be distributed among several rescue units operating in the
vicinity of Sweden`s nuclear power plants.

The DIS-1 personal dosimeter, from Mirion`s RADOS product line, is well-suited
for many radiation dosimetry applications. Small, rugged and waterproof, the
DIS-1 can be read numerous times in a non-destructive manner without losing dose
information. The DBR-1 dosimeter reader, also from Mirion`s RADOS product line,
provides users with an instant dose reading and stores the dose in a buffer
memory for subsequent electronic transmission. The instant reading capability
allows the user to monitor dose on a daily basis, and the electronic
transmission eliminates the need to send badges to a processing center to obtain
an official dose of record.

"We are pleased to provide our advanced dosimetry system to the Swedish Rescue
Service Agency," said Antony Besso, President of Mirion`s Health Physics
Division. "We look forward to a long-term partnership strengthening Sweden`s
civil defense."
