Radium Incorporated (Radium) set out on a mission to develop the ultimate personal breathing and cooling system for the nuclear power industry worker. For decades, nuclear workers had no choice but to use respiratory protection products that starved them for air, were obstructive to use, and created an extremely hot and stressful environment to work. The Hurricane Hood™ line of products is the industry solution for a problem that has lingered long enough.

Radium currently offers 2 different Hurricane Hood models. The Category 2 (CAT-2) is a backpack version of the CAT-3 and can be used for any application except for limited access areas that require the user to enter through a manway or access hole. Hard hats and any type of communications headsets can be worn inside the CAT-2 hood.
