Dispersed and Localized Release of Radiological Agents

Depending on the magnitude and location of an event, Stratellites™ can be the best means for local responders to quickly characterize a HAZMAT situation.

A nuclear power accident would produce radiological ground contamination. A dispersal weapon or nuclear detonation would likely impact housing areas and businesses in metropolitan regions. Natural disasters, accidents, and negligence could also cause displacement or loss of legitimate radiological sources.

As with chemical spills, assessing a radiological event is critically time sensitive. Minutes count. Airborne surveys offer the fastest means of assessing an incident so that prompt mitigation and remediation can begin.
