The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District is testing a gamma detector suspended from a drone at the former DuPont Chambers Works site in Deepwater, New Jersey, according to the licensed source material.
The site is part of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program, or FUSRAP, which addresses locations requiring remediation. The Corps says the flight tests are exploring ways to locate buried radiological contamination while improving safety.
The available information does not provide test results, a schedule, or details about the detector’s performance. It describes the work as taking place at a complex cleanup project.
