Who Is 'KI4U' that's brought you the NukAlert?

Q: Who Needs a Radiation Detector or Meter?

A: The reasons for acquiring a radiation detector or meter, and formulating a family nuclear response strategy, are as varied as are peoples concerns for the future and the safety of their loved ones in this ever changing world. The following all-inclusive list would require different responses (sheltering or evacuation) depending on the nature of the nuclear emergency, but clearly survival in all would be enhanced with having a radiation detector or meter close at hand.
The specific causes of potential life-threatening nuclear radiation emergencies include...

Nuclear power plant accidents here or abroad (Three Mile Island, Chernobyl)
Nuclear materials processing plant accidents (Tokaimura, Japan)
Nuclear waste (radioactive waste from hospitals, spent fuel and radioactive waste from nuclear power plants, radioactive contaminated materials, etc.) storage or processing facilities mishaps
Nuclear waste transport truck or train accidents
Accidents involving non-waste, but normal daily nuclear materials transport (trucks, planes, trains, couriers)

One out every 50 HazMat shipments contain radioactive materials. Approximately three million packages of radioactive material are shipped in the United States each year.
Improper storage of radioactive materials (non-waste) at any point during their normal material life cycle. (Power plants, Medical, Industrial, Academic, etc.)

Lost or stolen radioactive sources (Over the last 50 years, incidents of lost or stolen licensed radioactive devices occur at the rate of once every other day. See Lost and Stolen Nuclear Materials in the U.S. and NRC Documents Revealing Thousands of Radioactive Source Are Missing.)

Nuclear terrorism here via...
An attack on, or sabotage of, a nuclear power plant. (See Sabotage and Terrorism of Nuclear Power Plants)

Or, a real terrorist atomic bomb detonated here (See Is al Qaeda Preparing a Nuclear Hit?)

Or, more likely, conventional explosives used to disperse radioactive materials (dirty bomb) to effectively contaminate an area and much within in it. (See Do terrorists really have nukes here?)

Or, food or water supplies could be contaminated with radioactive materials.

Or, a strong radioactive source could be placed in a location adjacent to where large numbers of the public would file past. They could be unknowingly and dangerously exposed to it, such as at a subway que, sports arena or stadium, etc.

Limited nuclear war overseas with the fallout carried here by the wind (See Trans-Pacific Fallout for threat here if any of the 'players' went nuclear in the Mid-East, or Pakistan, India, North Korea, China, Russia, etc.)

Nuclear War involving a direct attack upon the USA. (Think that's highly unlikely in your life-time? See Nuclear War Unthinkable? Russian & Chinese & North Korea Preparations Today! and The Final Phase)

Everybody will have different opinions about which of the above nuclear threats is most likely to occur or impact their own family sometime in the future. Regardless, though, in all cases, knowing exactly what the radioactivity is, where you are standing, will always make for better informed decisions in then taking the correct protective action to minimize any future radiation exposure for your family.

Q: Who Is KI4U and what's the history behind the NukAlert?

A: Hi, my name is Shane Connor, the President of KI4U, Inc. and the author of the popular FAQ's...

Potassium Iodide Anti-Radiation Pill FAQCivil Defense Radiation Detection Survey Meters, Geiger Counters & Dosimeters FAQNuclear Blast & Fallout Shelters FAQ.

(KI4U, Inc. history details here.)

Since the launching of that first FAQ in 1999, we've had a steady stream of inquiries, and requests for recommendations of, truly compact, personal radiation detectors and meters. Readily appreciating the need for one ourselves, we've since researched that topic and the possibilities in-depth, too.

Same as with our acclaimed ground-breaking research into potassium iodide (KI) for that first FAQ, and then later with the revelations uncovered about the FEMA Civil Defense radiation meters in the second FAQ, we originally had to wade through much fiction, misinformation, and critical omissions overwhelming the few solid facts about the utility of small detectors for emergency use.

As a licensed radiological laboratory we already knew that most all modern radiation detector and meter units available were designed for 'peace time' low-level radiation use and would not detect the higher, more dangerous, levels associated with nuclear emergencies. While they might be adequate for measuring natural background radiation levels and above, to a point, most would 'max out' well before the radiation levels approached anything near life-threatening.
Cresson H. Kearny, covered this point, too, in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory book Nuclear War Survival Skills, (Chapter 10 - Fallout Radiation Meters) where he wrote:

"Instruments that measure only milliroentgen-range dose rates are sold for war use by some companies. Since most Americans have no idea what size of radiation doses would incapacitate or kill them, and do not even know that a milliroentgen is 1/1000 of a roentgen, some people buy instruments that are capable of measuring maximum dose rates of only one roentgen or less per hour. The highest dose rate that it can measure, one roentgen per hour, is far too low to be of much use in a nuclear war."

Low-range geiger counter type meters, like the CD V-700, would be helpful if decontamination was required later, and we even offer them here, but without a higher-range detector first, and initially, warning you away from exposure to those higher levels of potentially lethal radiation, the opportunity to later even use a low-range meter may never come!

Another serious drawback of currently available 'portable' radiation detectors and meters was their very limited useful battery life and that even the best of them were still as big as a paperback novel. These limitations make them both difficult to keep continuously "ON" 24/7 and to have it with you personally throughout the day and night as close as your car keys normally are.

Fortunately, shortly after 9/11, we got a call from an inventor in Virgina, who was familiar with our background and work with the FAQ's, that had been working on a similar solution for a number of years already. He had patents to his credit and was receiving royalties on earlier inventions and had been engaged most recently in developing a dosimeter meter for the medical radiological field. In his research for that project he had come across a potential design that he recognized could be the basis for a new product the general public would likely find very practical.

The short story is we then formed a partnership to explore the development of a truly compact, high-range radiation monitoring and alarming device, with an exceptionally long battery life. An inexpensive, easily carried everywhere all the time, 24/7 device that anyone could readily grasp the operation of. A device that would then help them promptly make the correct protective decisions in a future nuclear emergency. That was our mutual goal.

After 16 months of non-stop, grueling and expensive R&D, design work, multiple prototypes, repeated high-range radiation testing, and eventually outside independent lab verifications, we recently (finally!) went into mass production of the NukAlert. It's first public release and introduction was at the Health Physics Society National Convention in the last week of January, 2003. NukAlert Press Release 2/28/03

The State of the Art, Patented, NukAlert sensor is composed of a Cadmium Sulphide photocell exposed to light emitted by a radioluminescent rare earth phosphor (scintillator). The sensor signal is sampled with every tick or alarm chirp group by a small custom microprocessor. The NukAlert is always "ON" 24/7 continuously monitoring and sampling its immediate environment.

The long-life battery combined with this patented technology provides continuous monitoring for a minimum of ten years with enough reserve to respond and alarm to a prolonged radiation emergency. (Even at the highest suggested retail, and they are cheaper when buying as few as two, it works out to less than $16 per year over the lifetime of the battery!) And, this key chain attachable, carry everywhere, rugged detector and meter is completely sealed to prevent moisture or contaminants from affecting its operation.

From the first time we had talked in October 2001, we both deeply appreciated the urgency and need for American families today to be able to promptly know if and when dangerous radiation is present that requires their taking protective action. We are confident the NukAlert detector can now fulfill that important mission with the current threats of nuclear terrorism and 'dirty bombs'.

Additionally, it will also confirm for its owner when and where the most dangerous levels of radiation are not present, too, which is also vitally important. With the anticipated general public angst, perhaps even panic, accompanying any future developing nuclear emergency, it will be very reassuring to know with confidence that, for your locale, your family is out of the worst danger.

We see owning a NukAlert detector the same as buying family medical insurance, where you acquire it even though you still hope/pray never to have to use it. (Also, too, just like insurance, it'll likely not be readily available after the fact either!) But, with the NukAlert, know when the "We interrupt this program for a Special Bulletin..." comes across the TV or radio, and your family looks to you, you will be much better prepared for the worst, and to then guide them through it.

Our commitment to assure radiation protection for all American families is focused on essential personal civil defense education, and that begins with first dispelling the widely embraced nuclear and radiation un-survivability 'myths'. Doing so will then greatly improve most American families odds of survival when they learn the often simple, but truly effective, protective actions they can utilize. You'll discover that more than half of the NukAlert Manual details practical and readily affordable family Nuclear Survival Strategies for if/when the alarm sounds for-real in our future.

Community Civil Defense NukAlert Program
~ Practical Radiation Civil Defense for Every Community in America Today! ~The continual revelations of nuclear bomb technology and radioactive material proliferation warn of the nightmare of nuclear catastrophy on American soil. In spite of overt nuclear threats from numerous terrorists and even foreign governments, there is no longer any Civil Defense program in the United States tasked with educating and equipping the population to effectively deal with a future nuclear crisis.

The Department of Homeland Security is focused instead on interdiction, infrastructure protection and government continuity. The responsibility for civilian radiological protection, in the aftermath of a nuclear 'event', has been left to the state and local level. On their own, they are woefully unprepared to support and protect America's communities.

The major component of our abandoned national Civil Defense program was the pre-positioning of literally millions of basic radiation meters in communities all across America. The mandate was clear then - every community needed to be able to determine the level of radiation present at their own specific location before they could hope to know the proper response.

Without that essential information, they understood well, that many thousands, perhaps millions, of Americans would needlessly perish due to ignorance of the local radiation intensity. In the absence of government support for neighborhood and family level civil defense, individuals and citizen groups must take this responsibility upon themselves, or remain needlessly vulnerable.

To support all American communities in the restoration of effective local Civil Defense, KI4U, Inc. has developed a nationwide Civil Defense Community NukAlert Program.

Any civic minded individual or local organization, public or private, is invited to obtain a quantity of modern radiation monitoring instruments through this new essential Program at a fraction of current retail pricing.

Anyone can take advantage of this program on behalf of their own community. Local government agencies, civic business associations, church groups, volunteer fire depts, PTA's, Ham radio groups, Boy & Girl Scout Troops, individuals, etc. may obtain these radiological meters and their easy-to-understand operational and response booklets.

They may then decide for themselves how best to distribute them, whether they should be donated, or even sold, and at what price. Ideally, every family in every community should have one, but at the very minimum every community should have some. Even just a few per neighborhood would be a vital tie-in with their local authorities, reporting their local instrument readings in an emergency. Other groups may donate them to their local volunteer fire dept or law enforcement agencies. Individuals may even re-sell them locally, understanding the wisdom of being surrounded by an early-warning ring of educated and well equipped neighbors.

Our goal for the Community NukAlert Program is simple - to have every possible American community, and thus individual families, equipped for their own local protection.

The radiological instrument selected for this national Community Civil Defense program is our most popular NukAlert that retails for $160.00 each and has already been purchased by thousands of American families, as well as government agencies. This small, portable, instrument is a key-chain attachable radiation monitor and alarm that is always "ON" 24/7 with its 10-year battery. More details of this essential early-warning Civil Defense instrument can be seen here...http://www.nukalert.com/

Contact us below for special quantity pricing exclusive to this national Community NukAlert Program.

NOTE: Any large quantities will only be available prior to a nuclear emergency 'event' occurring anywhere in the world. KI4U, Inc. has been quickly sold-out before, and once by the Federal Government, and likely will again when that day comes that 'nobody will ever forget'.
If interested in exploring this further, please contact us below, and we also invite you to share the announcement of this essential Civil Defense Community NukAlert Program with all fellow Americans.

THIS COMMENTARY AS WELL AS ALL MY PREVIOUS COMMENTARIES WAS PUT UP AT MY DISCRETION IN ORDER TO HELP EDUCATE MY READERS. IT MAY BE OFF MY REGULAR TOPICS BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. I WILL BE GETTING BACK TO MY REGULAR TOPICS VERY SOON.


The following is from II TIMOTHY, Chapter 3, in the new testament which is not my bible but what is wriiten is very true.

[1] Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.[2] Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked,[3] Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness,[4] Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:[5] Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.[6] For of these sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires:[7] Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.
