Among those uses are search-detect and surveillance of radiation sources. An example of some of the common uses for PRDs are: Inspection check-points Border controls Patrolling large areas Discreet monitoring at events Baggage-vehicle-container searches Attaching inside of vehicles The following presentation is not designed as a complete training tool for the use of a PRD but only to illustrate the operational use of the mini rad-D.
