US Nuclear Corp designs manufacture and markets a branded,

  US Nuclear Corp designs manufacture and markets a branded, full line of radiation and chemical detection instrumentation including specialties such as drone-based aerial radiation detection, advanced Tritium, and Carbon-14 monitoring technology, and real-time continuous water monitoring. US Nuclear Corp is a fully-reporting , publicly traded holding company on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, traded under the OTCQB symbol UCLE. The Company's operations are principally engaged through its divisions, operating three globally recognized nuclear radiation detection companies, Optron Scientific Company Inc. dba Technical Associates, Overhoff Technology Corp., and ECC Electronic Control Concepts. US Nuclear Corp’s divisions design, manufacture (Made in the U.S.A.) and markets a branded, full line of radiation and chemical detection instrumentation including specialties such as drone-based aerial radiation and chemical detection, advanced Tritium and Carbon-14 monitoring technology

MIFTI/METCH

US NUCLEAR CORP’S strategic partnership with Magneto-Inertial Fusion Technologies, Inc. (MIFTI).  MIFTI is in the late stages of the development of fusion power. Nuclear power utilizing (fusion) energy is one of the most promising and safe sources for an unlimited timeframe and extremely economical fuel costs. For example, one gallon of seawater can produce energy approximately equal to 300 gallons of gasoline energy. With minimal reduced radioactive waste and limited impact on the environment, fusion energy generators will provide the ever-growing electricity requirements the global community demands. New energy demands currently coming from NASA and the new US Space Force are looking for a clean, high powered, compact, safe, energy source for spacecraft propulsion, and for establishing operations on the Moon and colonizing Mars. Most conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels will not burn and are not useful in space exploration and development. Nuclear power is the current ene

FlyCam UAV

  FlyCam UAV provides US Nuclear Corp with state-of-the-art commercial heavy-lift all-weather flight platforms.   These UAVs are manufactured in a NATO country, thus satisfying various U.S. government agencies’ security concerns. The NEO Octocopter or the ZOE quadcopter, with fast deployment, strategic pre-positioning, slow pass and hover capability for enhanced sensitivity, pinpointing precise source location, detection of thermal signatures; protect personnel from exposure to sources both on the ground and in the air during detection efforts. US Nuclear Corp’s partnership with FlyCam UAV provides a flight platform that can hold the DroneRad radiation sensors or the DroneChem chemical detection sensors, either individually or flown together setting US Nuclear Corp’s UAV Air Forensics program apart from other market drone sensing opportunities. Among the many benefits, FlyCam UAV’s drones offer in the UAV Air Forensics systems of US Nuclear Corp they have no Chinese manufacturing or

AIR POLLUTION MONITORING

  Air Pollution Monitor According to the World Health Organization, nine out of 10 people on Earth breathe polluted air, a number that contributes to millions of deaths every year.   Some of the most serious air pollutants are known as PM-2.5, small particles nearly 30 times finer than a human hair that get deep into lungs and even pass into the bloodstream. The ingestion of these particles is scientifically linked to aggravated asthma, respiratory illness and failure, irregular heartbeat and an increased chance of premature death in people with heart or lung disease.   Asia and Africa, areas of intense industrial development with heightened levels of fossil fuel consumption, have been particularly afflicted by PM-2.5 and other air pollutants, accounting for more than 90% of air pollution deaths worldwide.   In China alone, over a million people die each year due to extended air pollution exposure. As a result, the nation has started taking aggressive steps to reduce its air pollution

Detecting Radiation

Although many radioactive materials are silver-colored, metallic solids in their pure state, they can vary in color and exist in different physical states, including liquids and gases. They are also physically indistinguishable from other (nonradioactive) metals. In addition, ionizing radiation is not detectable by one's senses. It cannot be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or felt. For these reasons, simple visual inspection is insufficient to identify radioactive materials, and radiation sources can be virtually impossible to recognize without special markings. To address these problems, scientists have developed the following four major types of instruments to detect and identify radioactive materials and ionizing radiation: Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) Handheld Survey Meter Radiation Isotope Identification Device (RIID) Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM) Personal Radiation Detector (PRD) A PRD is a wearable gamma and/or neutron radiation detector, approximately the size of a page

Difference between high-frequency X-Ray Unit and conventional X-Ray machine

The conventional (Single Phase) X-Ray and   High Frequency X-Ray   machines significantly differ in at least the following three aspects: Efficiencies Ease of use Quality of Outcome 1. Efficiency High frequency x-ray generators are better as compared to conventional single-phase generators due to efficient generation and control of high voltage power required to drive the x-ray tube. How so? X-ray units require a  high voltage generator  to supply necessary power in an x-ray tube. In order to control the speed at which the electrons travel and strike the anode, high-voltage/potential needs to be maintained between the cathode and the anode in the X-Ray tube . The higher the potential/ voltage (KV), higher the speed of electrons and, hence, higher the penetration power of X-radiation. (For more details on functioning of X-Ray machine please click here). AC power, supplies x-ray units with sinusoidal currents, resulting in ‘peaks and troughs’ leading to the X-Ray tube to produce x-radiat
