Laser sensor for radiation monitoring

There are already significant amounts of hazardous radioactive substances in the world. It, potentially, leads to a major damage and contamination of large areas. Long-lived isotopes of cesium and strontium, as well as compounds of transuranic elements define a long-term radioactive contamination.Lidars can be effective for monitoring of the radioactive contamination. Preliminary results of investigation show the real possibility to register of leakage of a radionuclide with concentration at level 1 ppm on a safe distance from the infected object.
