Mirion Technologies Contributes Radiation Monitoring Equipment to Japan

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Mirion Technologies today announced the donation of 700 radiation monitoring dosimeters to support the first responders assisting with the ongoing relief efforts in Japan.

The donated dosimeters will assist with the measurement and recording of the total accumulated dose of ionizing radiation received by the first responders in Japan.

"Mirion Technologies and its employees are deeply saddened by the loss life and devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan," stated Antony Besso, President of Mirion's Health Physics Division.
