[ RadSafe ] Best technique to detect DU in huge area!!!

[Dustin G. Miller]

You may be talking about ERG out of Albuquerque, NM.  They had a paper
published in the Health Physics Journal titled "Recovery of Depleted Uranium
Fragments from Soil" in the February 2010 edition of the Operational Topic.
The cover had a picture of the DU detection system being pulled by a small
John Deere tractor.  

Their info is below

At the last Salt Lake HP meeting I looked at a tractor trailer mounted
scanner that could cover a swath about 15-20 ft wide over semi-rough
terrain.  Unfortunately, I can't get to the flyer (and have a bad memory),
so I don't remember the contact.  Anybody remember who it was at the Salt
Lake city meeting (this year) who had the trailer mounted scanner?
Depending on the time scale, this sounds like it might be worth
investigating for this application.

Dear All 

Your advice is greatly appreciated:

There is a potential to perform Radiation survey in huge area 10 km x 30 km
or more for possible contamination with DU as a result of Gulf war.

 

The area is desert, sandy and not uniform.

 

What is the best technique to perform that?

Is movable FIDLER (NaI 2inx2in) with GPS and data timing is the best?

Any advice about the cost (individually and array as example 6 with trailer)

Suitable manufacturer and contact. for complete system..

Best regards
