  • Evolution of a Hand-Held Device for Homeland
    EVOLUTION OF A HAND- HELD DEVICE FOR HOMELAND SECURITY PURPOSES Presented at INMM 46, 2005, Paper 251 Markku Koskelo, William R Russ and Stephen Croft Canberra Industries, Inc. 800 Research Parkway Meriden, CT 06450, USA. Regis Lacher Canberra Aquila, Inc. 8401 Washington Place NE Albuquerque, NM 87113, USA. ABSTRACT Over the course of the last two and a half years, Canberra has designed and launched a Hand-Held Radioisotope Identification Device (HHRIID) called InSpector 1000 for use in many fields. The primary requirements (usability, reliability, portability) were taken into account with the intent of addressing the specific needs of field health physics applications. In an effort to address the growing need of Homeland Security type applications for specialized instrumentation, Canberra has already made several improvements to the original design and a further effort to “ruggedize” the instrument for harsh environments is underway. This paper describes Canberra’s development activities of the “Ruggedized” InSpector 1000 to date and the results obtained with the prototypes so far. 1. Introduction Many of the current handheld radionuclide identification devices were originally designed to meet the 1989 version of ANSI standard N42.17A1. It was expedient to use them in Homeland Security applications because they were available. Canberra’s InSpector 1000 was originally designed to meet the same standard as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommendation for HHRIID. In 2003, ANSI published a new standard, ANSI N42.342 specifying the performance requirements for radionuclide identifying devices used in Homeland Security. The release of this standard has led to the commencement of new initiatives to modify existing radionuclide identification devices to comply with its specifications.

  • Black Hawk Down: a Story of Modern
    CHAPTER 1: HAIL MARY, THEN DOOM STAFF SGT. Matt Eversmann's lanky frame was fully extended on the rope for what seemed too long on the way down. Hanging from a hovering Blackhawk helicopter, Eversmann was a full 70 feet above the streets of Mogadishu . His goggles had broken, so his eyes chafed in the thick cloud of dust stirred up by the bird's rotors. It was such a long descent that the thick nylon rope burned right through the palms of his leather gloves. The rest of his Chalk, his squad, had already roped in. Nearing the street, through the swirling dust below his feet, Eversmann saw one of his men stretched out on his back at the bottom of the rope. He felt a stab of despair. Somebody's been shot already! He gripped the rope hard to keep from landing on top of the guy. It was Pvt. Todd Blackburn, at 18 the youngest Ranger in his Chalk, a kid just months out of a Florida high school. He was unconscious and bleeding from the nose and ears. The raid was barely under way, and already something had gone wrong. It was just the first in a series of worsening mishaps that would endanger this daring mission. For Eversmann, a five-year veteran from Natural Bridge, Va. , leading men into combat for the first time, it was the beginning of the longest day of his life. Just 13 minutes before, three miles away at the Ranger's base on the Mogadishu beach, Eversmann had said a Hail Mary at liftoff.
