Sole source determination is based on NIST?s need to have a high sensitivity, low cost, and low weight, plastic scintillator and electronics that provides natural background rejection capabilities. It also needs to include a radiation pager (or pocket-sized personal radiation detector) that can be mounted in front of the user to allow maximum detection probability as a function of source orientation to user. This instrument is going to be part a robot and radiation detector integration exercise for which detection sensitivity and finding capabilities due to source-to-user orientation is crucial.
