these detectors might not be all you need to measure dust. You might need a accumulator (filter) and air sampling at high rate to normalize levels, and you might need to fly a plane with a filter around to normalize levels. And you might need to use radar to find targets to investigate (i.e. stuff traveling clumped).. it may be a regular occurrence for something to travel in a group in some area but it might not always be in the same exact position. I.e. after this many hours of operation this membrane is normally at this radiation level in this environment. |

So yeah, you can do it but you probably shouldn't. (You probably also don't need a radar to find your target in this case...) |

i meant over the bodies of water where those submarines are supposedly located |

I've read that the civil defence ones are extremely low sensitivity, to the point that if the needle moves at all, you're already in big trouble. |
| coppercone2:
yes the idea is that they are reliable and allow for soldiers and relief workers to avoid areas that will certainly kill them in order to perform other useful operations. If those are used society is probably so screwed that long term radiation poisoning down the line ending your retirement early is the least of your concerns. Not to mention its going to be cheap since no one wants to use it. |
