Kromek D5 RIID-SIM Radiation Training Simulator

Realistic Radiation Detection Training for Defence, Border Security & Emergency Services

Advanced RIID Training for Radiological and Nuclear Threat Preparedness

Radiological and nuclear threats remain a critical concern for military forces, border protection agencies, law enforcement, and emergency responders worldwide. Effective training is essential to ensure personnel can detect, identify, and respond to radioactive materials safely and confidently.

The Kromek D5 RIID-SIM Radiation Training Simulator delivers high-fidelity, risk-free radiation detection training designed specifically for:

  • Defence and military CBRN units
  • Border security and customs agencies
  • Counter-terrorism and law enforcement teams
  • Fire & rescue and hazardous materials (HazMat) responders
  • Civil protection and national security organisations

It accurately replicates Kromek’s D5 RIID, allowing teams to practice without using harmful ionizing sources. Trainees experience the full spectrum of the RIIDs functionality, preparing them to face real radiological threats with skill and confidence.

Mission-Ready Radiation Training for High-Threat Environments

The D5 RIID-SIM prepares personnel for real-world operational scenarios, including:

  • Illicit trafficking of radioactive materials at borders and ports
  • Improvised radiological dispersal device (RDD) response
  • Nuclear security inspections
  • Military CBRN reconnaissance operations
  • Urban radiological incident response
  • Critical infrastructure protection

By replicating the exact interface and workflow of the operational D5 RIID, the simulator builds the muscle memory and decision-making skills required in high-pressure deployments.

D5 RIID's Additional Features

True-to-Device Functionality

Exact replication of the real D5 RIID interface, including visual and audio alarms, measurement units (Rem, Sv/hr), and menu navigation.

Gamma and Neutron Simulation

Responds to safe Gamma and Neutron sources, enabling authentic radiological hazard training without environmental risks.

Environmental Adaptability

Demonstrates shielding effects using materials like wood, glass, or concrete, giving teams practical knowledge of radiation protection principles.

Unmatched Benefits for Your Training Teams

With the D5 RIID SIM, teams learn to trust their equipment and their skills under realistic conditions. The simulator offers a hands-on experience that familiarises responders with the exact look, feel, and functions of the D5 RIID system, empowering them with the knowledge and muscle memory needed in high-stakes scenarios. Instructors can simulate nuanced contamination and decontamination processes, providing a depth of training that is as challenging as it is safe.

Based upon patented RaFTS spectrometry simulation technology developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) which is exclusively licensed to Argon, the simulator module will allow D5 RIID users to temporarily convert their operational detector for training use to explore and use the impressive capabilities of this high-performance detector in lifelike operational scenarios.

Real Value to our Organisation

Investing in Kromek’s D5 RIID SIM means reduced costs and maintenance efforts. Powered by standard batteries or the internal battery, the D5 RIID requires no regular calibration, no preventative maintenance, and ensures low long-term ownership costs. The simulator module connects to the D5 RIID via USB. By training with safe, electronic sources rather than hazardous simulants, your organisation preserves both its budget and the environment. Reset exercises in seconds, enabling multiple training sessions with zero downtime and maximum efficiency.

Strengthen National Radiological Preparedness

Equip your defence, border security, and emergency response teams with the Kromek D5 RIID-SIM Radiation Training Simulator and deliver mission-ready radiation detection training, without risk, regulatory burden, or environmental impact.

PlumeSIM Compatible

The D5 RIID SIM is compatible with Argon’s PlumeSIM system and a range of other Argon simulators. This enables multi-detector and multi-threat training within the same operational scenario.
