About Usmicasensor ltd.
MICASENSOR — engineering and manufacturing of advanced instruments for ionising-radiation detection and monitoring
Founded in 2017, Micasensor has already become known as a reliable partner, supplier and professional service provider to civil-nuclear, emergency response, public-safety and environmental customers worldwide.
The company employs an international team of physicists, chemists, engineers and software developers. R&D and manufacturing capabilities are built on partnerships drawing on more than 25 years’ experience in measuring equipment for the civil nuclear industry. Micasensor instruments are designed for easy integration into existing customer systems and built around state-of-the-art technologies, networking and modern sensor materials. The company follows customer needs and the latest IAEA regulations and standards, and incorporates this experience into the products it delivers.
Applications include airborne active particulates at NPPs, radon and progeny in mining and ore processing, NORM residues and waste in the petroleum industry, occupational health and safety, environmental and workplace monitoring, and emergency response to radiological accidents.
Micasensor also provides professional services and training, custom R&D of sensor systems and detection networks, and OEM manufacturing of equipment for the detection of radiological, toxic-industrial and biological threats.
Our long-term growth strategy is to develop capacity to sell integrated solutions for professional markets (civil nuclear, security, medical, and industrial) worldwide. This involves delivering innovative products, wireless networks, online data management systems, operational frameworks, and comprehensive training and technical support throughout the product lifecycle.

Special competence: industrial damage in conflict zones
Micasensor advises operators and authorities on radiological hazards that arise when industrial assets are damaged by armed conflict or large-scale accidents. Capability covers:
- Threat-driven instrument selection — matching the right mix of PRDs, spectrometers, continuous air monitors, surface-contamination monitors, radioiodine cartridges, environmental gamma probes and mobile laboratories to the specific scenario: aerosolised NORM/TENORM, particulate releases from fires and explosions, radioiodine releases, RDD contamination, displaced sources.
- Concept of use — fit-for-purpose instrument portfolios (PRDs, spectrometers, contamination monitors, air-sampling systems) matched to specific threat scenarios; tiered screening from PRD to spectrometer to mobile-laboratory analysis; guidance on instrument limitations (gamma versus alpha/beta sensitivity, spectrometric versus non-spectrometric devices); field-condition methodology for screening, identification and quantification; prevention of misuse and misinterpretation common in non-specialised settings. integration of personal dosimetry with area monitoring; sustained monitoring across multi-day incidents.
- Performance limits — what each instrument can and cannot reliably tell the operator under field conditions, and prevention of the reading errors that drive overreaction or underreaction.
- Field methodology and operator preparation — screening, identification and quantification protocols; calibration and quality-control routines viable in degraded environments; training and written procedures for first responders, civil-defence units and industrial radiation-protection teams; technical advisory to incident commanders during active events.
