3D GPS mapping of land contaminated with gamma-ray emitting radionuclides.
Two studies are given in this paper. Both studies use a combined gamma sensing and global positioning system to monitor land contaminated with gamma emitting radioisotopes. The first is the 3D profiling a large (100m x 200m x 15m) tip of the residue from radium extraction processing. The second is the dynamic monitoring of beaches to locate and recover small particles of radioactive material.
