Radiation Shield Technologies (rst) To Supply Northern New Jersey Urban Areas Security Initiative
Miami, FL - The shield is similar to a blanket and combines ballistic fibers with Demron to provide the only Anti-nuclear IED blanket available, serving as a protective shield for first responders or as a suppression blanket for IED'S, radiological dispersal devices (also known as "dirty bombs"), and nuclear spills. The shields significantly reduce high-energy nuclear radiation such as Cs 137 by 70 percent or more, and are certified by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) with 0108.01 certification. Protected by US patent 8334524, they are lightweight, easily deployable, and resistant to flame, chemical, and biological hazards.
"We purchased radiation shields to ensure the safety of first responders," said Jim Rapp, State Priority Co-Chair of the NJ State Police Hazardous Materials Response Unit. "The blankets provide an immediately available shield that reduces exposure at these CBRNE incidents."
The $265,000 contract supports Northern NJ UASI's purpose to fulfill the unique planning, organizational, and equipment needs of its assigned high-threat, high-density area. Using Department of Homeland Security funds, ...
... the purchase more specifically contributes to the Northern NJ UASI's terrorism preparedness plan by improving prevention, protection, response, and recovery capabilities. The upcoming 2014 Super Bowl at the MetLife Stadium also presents a unique situation for East Rutherford, NJ, requiring 100% readiness on behalf of the Northern NJ UASI. 16 small shields and 16 large shields were issued to two Core Cities (Jersey City, pictured here, and Newark), seven New Jersey counties (Bergen, Passaic, Union, Middlesex, Hudson, Essex, and Morris), and three Metropolitan Statistical Area Counties (Somerset, Monmouth, Ocean) in the Northern NJ UASI region. The shields were also distributed to NJ State Police and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection.
