Description
A simple, inexpensive instrument for measuring radiation fields in otherwise inaccessible locations has been developed. The RadRope consists of a series of radiation detectors inside a flexible sheath and connected to a data readout device to alert the operator to unexpected radiation fields at a remote location. The instrument is designed for use in a maritime environment and will assist inspection personnel in detecting potential illicit radioactive materials or radiological/nuclear weapons of mass destruction.
