Abstract
he goal of the research described in this paper is to help prevent scenarios such as the following: a terrorist detonates a device that distributes radioactive material such as Cesium-137 or Cobalt-60 in an open space used for public sports events or demonstrations. This paper studies the efficacy of networks of static sensors on street lamps or similar infrastructures. This paper describes individual sensors, evaluates the benefits of networks of stationary sensors, and briefly discusses the potential value of integrated networks of wireless-equipped mobile security personnel with stationary radiation sensors and cameras. The paper presents mathematical analysis coupled with simulation results.
