Recent advancements in CO2 laser technology have led to improved methods for detecting radioactive materials over extended distances. This could enhance safety protocols in nuclear facilities, disaster response, and environmental monitoring. However, there is discussion about the limitations of such technology, with suggestions that simple physical barriers, akin to a large Tupperware container, could obstruct detection efforts. This raises questions about the practicality of deployment in various real-world scenarios. Additionally, comparisons are made to ionization chambers that function effectively under atmospheric pressure, indicating alternative methods may exist for similar applications.
