US Nuclear Corp Rolls Out Radiation Detection Drones
The concept of drones may
send a mixed message to the public, but it is likely that domestic uses
of drones outnumbers military deployments. From agricultural and forest
management concerns to Hollywood movie making, drones are proving,in a
gadget-oriented world, to be an irresistible addition to many
activities.
And now commercial drone creator FlyCam UAV, which specializes in drones for work in television and feature films, has teamed up with US Nuclear Corp to create drones that detect particles that contain alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation. The uses, the companies say, include detection of leaks from nuclear power plants and chemical analysis of smoke plumes above industrial accidents or residential fire scenes. The later is possible, as the drones for radiation detection include a gas collection option that tests for the presence of chlorine, biological particulates and aerosols, such as anthrax and nerve gas.
