Description

The author presents an example of successfully capturing a hotspot of man-made radioactive 152Eu in Dayuan when the authors carried out airborne survey for radioactivity levels in north China. The hotspot was on the front of the gate of a concrete pipe factory in Dayuan. The activity of the source was estimated roughly 4.25 x 108-7.53 x 108 Bq. The longitudinal positioning error was less than 15 m
