“…A more recent work reported on the use of several NaI detectors and a LaBr 3 installed in a manned helicopter to determine the influence of natural radionuclides (radon progenies, 214 Pb and 214 Bi) in aerial radiation monitoring for a better estimation of the deposition of artificial radionuclides in the vicinity of Fukushima [153].…”

In the last decade, the development of more compact and lightweight radiation detection systems led to their application in handheld and small unmanned systems, particularly air-based platforms. Examples of improvements are: the use of silicon photomultiplier-based scintillators, new scintillating crystals, compact dual-mode detectors (gamma/neutron), data fusion, mobile sensor networks, cooperative detection and search. Gamma cameras and dual-particle cameras are increasingly being used for source location. This study reviews and discusses the research advancements in the field of gamma-ray and neutron measurements using mobile radiation detection systems since the Fukushima nuclear accident. Four scenarios are considered: radiological and nuclear accidents and emergencies; illicit traffic of special nuclear materials and radioactive materials; nuclear, accelerator, targets, and irradiation facilities; and naturally occurring radioactive materials monitoring-related activities. The work presented in this paper aims to: compile and review information on the radiation detection systems, contextual sensors and platforms used for each scenario; assess their advantages and limitations, looking prospectively to new research and challenges in the field; and support the decision making of national radioprotection agencies and response teams in respect to adequate detection system for each scenario. For that, an extensive literature review was conducted.

The contribution of radon and its progeny to environmental gamma dose should not be ignored. In recent years, a large number of scholars all over the world have studied the migration behavior of radon and its progeny in the environment, and analyzed their impact on environmental gamma dose. Especially in uranium (thorium) bearing mining areas and other special areas, the influence of radon and its progeny is more prominent, which poses an important challenge to radiation monitoring. This paper summarizes the analysis and processing technology of radon and its progeny in environmental gamma monitoring, and puts forward the research trend and development direction of radon and its progeny analysis technology.
