Description: This seminar will cover how to identify Radio-Isotopes in the field and how to determine if it is a threat or not. We will cover what a Radio-Isotope Identifier Device (RIID) is, how it works, and deployment of the devices during emergency operations, including how to ensure you gather enough information to make a good interpretation of the results. Spectrum will also be covered from various operations in the past. A hands-on exercise will include various RIIDs using SpirVIEW Mobile™ software to see live time readings and locations as each instrument is deployed and works the radiological emergency scene. This seminar will feature the SPIR-Ace™ unit, SPIR-Pack™ system and SpirVIEW Mobile software.
