HURRICANE SUITS
Radium Incorporated (Radium) set out on a mission to develop the ultimate personal cooling system for the nuclear power industry worker. For decades, nuclear workers had no choice but to wear anti-contamination suits that were extremely hot and did not provide adequate protection from rips and tears. Radium has developed a ruggedized suit with a patented (No. 7832396 ) cooling system that pumps a large volume of filtered air (HEPA) into the suit while forcing the hot air out. The system provides true worker mobility that does not require any hoses and/or external air sources. The suit can be worn by workers that wear respirators, powered air visors, Trend Air Shields, and/or any non-back mounted respiratory protection device.
HURRICANE HOODS - (NIOSH review pending)
The Hurricane Hood™ line of products is the industry solution to respiratory protection products that starved them for air, were obstructive to use, and created an extremely hot and stressful environment for the worker. Radium offers two models; a Category 2 (CAT-2) model for back mounting and a Category 3 (CAT-3) model for head mounting.
Radium’s experience in steam generator nozzle dam services played an important role in the development of the Hurricane Hood. One of the design goals was to develop a system that could be used by nozzle dam technicians to install or remove dams. It had to be a compact system that would not obstruct the technician from entering or exiting the channel head through a 16" steam generator primary manway and provide ample air flow. The Hurricane Hood Category 3 (CAT-3) is the solution, as shown below....
