More than just a radiation detector, the NukAlert is a patented personal radiation meter, monitor and alarm. Small enough to attach to a key chain, the device operates non-stop, 24/7 and will promptly warn you of the presence of unseen, but acutely dangerous levels of radiation.
Used nationwide by federal, state and local first responders, law enforcement and the Dept. of Defense, the device is the ideal solution for increasing individual security and awareness of radiological threats. It will be very reassuring to know, with confidence, when you and your family are out of the worst danger.

Something wrong with my new NukAlert. All it does is chirp all day and night 7 times. According to the info on the back, I should have been dead days ago.

Beautiful and well made. Definitely a counter center piece however, my wife found that it did not grind fine enough for flour even after 3 grinds. Not a show stopper but something to consider if buying for sourdough or other fine flour recipes.
I notice a definite difference in the quality of the taste of the water itself and the drinks, like coffee and tea, that I make with it. I appreciate that the fluoride is taken out also without removing the minerals.
