Abstract :
In this work, an interactive remote sensing system is suggested. It consists of two main parts; a phoswich detector to trace hard X-ray emission of these elements and a DIAL coupled with a 2nd harmonic Nd:YAG pumped higher harmonic Ti:Sa laser. It serves as a tunable UV coherent source for rapid determination of the unknown radioactive elements within the plume as well as the corresponding concentration and the exact location.
