[ RadSafe ] University of Michigan News Service | Revolutionary nuclear radiation detector hits the market

[Dimiter Popoff]

A few detectors of the right efficiency (not too high so there will be
photons to be detected while still leaving the first detector to be
seen in some second detector), multiple coincidence detection and some 
not that sophisticated maths, no reason why it should not work.

Interesting indeed, but not as groundbreaking from a tech point of
view as they advertise it. From a commercial yes, but at $100k/piece
nothing that impressive.
