Abstract

A module pack for relaying communications and data information includes: (a) a portable housing, (b) an audio signal receiver disposed within the housing, the audio signal receiver being capable of receiving electromagnetic audio signals, (c) a video signal receiver disposed within the housing, the video signal receiver being capable of receiving electromagnetic video signals, (d) a radiation dosimeter receiver disposed within the housing, and radiation dosimeter receiver being capable of receiving radiation dosimeter data, and (e) a communications data transmitter for transmitting the audio signals, the video signals and the dosimeter data to a location separate from the housing via a single communications data transmission cable. The invention provides a fully integrated module which allows for critical communications and radiation dosimetry data to be exchanged between several workers working simultaneously within the work area and with health physics technicians and supervisors working away from the work area. The combination of the invention allows for the rapid and efficient set-up, operation and disassembly of various modular communications and radiation dosimetry data receiver/transmitters. Use of the invention has been found to greatly reduce the costs of conducting work within radiation hazardous environments, while greatly improving the ability of the workers to conduct the work in a safe and efficient manner.
