Cadets from NE452 (Instrumentation and Shielding) conducted a laboratory exercise out at Camp Shea, West Point NY, Nov. 14. The purpose of the laboratory was to allow cadets to develop techniques and procedures in radiation room surveying, using radiation detectors in a field environment, and promote their ability to articulate the science. After receiving an in-brief upon arriving out at Camp Shea, cadets were given the mission of finding, identifying, and characterizing radioactive sources using two different detector types (current- and pulse-mode), making up more than nine different detector models. Cadets were then given the mission of out-briefing a notional senior-level commander while articulating both the short- and long-term hazards of the radioactive sources and threats.
