Topics for this presentation include isotopes, alpha and beta radiation, x-rays and gamma-rays, neutrons, ionizing radiation, occupational exposure to radiation (CFR limit), radiation exposure amounts, the half-life, radiation protection, inverse square law (1/r 2 ), fission, fusion, and criticality.
Laser lights are being shined into the eyes of law enforcement officers, first responders, and pilots to harass, distract or harm them. Over the last 10 years, there has been a 148% increase in reported aviation laser events in the US. The availability of powerful lasers has increased and the price has decreased over time. Retroreflector prisms return laser light to the origin. This solution is both protective and helps identify the location of the source.
In this presentation I lump together the "classified RDD" - a dispersion of aerosolized radioactive material - with the nefarious use of radioactive materials. This can include other means of dispersal as well as an RED - a Radiological Exposure Device. This combination is because the threat is the nefarious use of radioactive material, and most of our concerns are in regards to the loss of control of the material, potential(s) for misuse, and detection.
