[ RadSafe ] GIS Location of Radioactive Sources

Wed Jul 20 15:04:11 CDT 2016

If it's remote areas, then RFID tagging might not be possible.

My approach would be to utilize a near boundary source term monitoring ARM
such as Mirion's RDS-31 with a sim card or satellite uplink. This method is
what's used at several nuclear power plants for near boundary monitoring,
including my own.

Cheers,
